We’re excited to continue building off of the momentum of our November Municipal Elections throughout the state. This week, we have two key Nights of Action where Florida Democrats will come together to drive turnout in critical special and runoff elections.
We have launched a new slate of Take Back Local candidates for the December 2025 runoff elections. Floridians are tired of the chaos and ready for leaders who show up, listen, and deliver. That’s exactly what our Take Back Local candidates will do.
The Take Back Local slate for the December 2025 runoff elections includes:
- Matthew Crowley, Winter Haven, District 4 – Runoff 12/2
- Monica Matteo-Salinas, Miami Beach, Group I – Runoff 12/9
- Eileen Higgins, City of Miami Mayor – Runoff 12/9
- Chris Dzadovsky, Fort Pierce City Commission, District 2 – Runoff 1/13
On Wednesday, November 19, we’re kicking off with a Special Election Night of Action Phonebank focused on SD-11 in Central Florida and HD-90 in Palm Beach County:
- HD-90 is a must-protect after the recent passing of our longtime Democratic representative
- SD-11 gives us a rare chance to flip a Republican-held Senate seat after the incumbent was pulled into the DeSantis administration
Strong performance in these races will send a clear signal: Florida Democrats are ready to compete everywhere.
