WOMEN VOTE!, the independent expenditure arm of EMILY’s List, has launched a new direct mail campaign urging voters in Florida’s 26th Congressional District to support the Democratic nominee, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell.
The campaign was begun earlier this month and will run through Sept. 27.
The group says their goal is to show Mucarsel-Powell is “a middle-class champion that will work to give everyone access to affordable quality health care.”
EMILY’s List is a PAC which seeks to assist pro-choice, Democratic women running for office. Their independent expenditure arm, WOMEN VOTE!, was created to mobilize women voters to support those candidates.
Florida Politics has obtained one of the mailers, below.
The ads speak out favorably about Mucarsel-Powell’s health care positions before listing the early voting periods for Miami-Dade and Monroe counties. along with date of Election Day, Nov. 6.
The group says it also plans to launch a negative mailer campaign on Mucarsel-Powell’s opponent, U.S. Rep. Carlos Curbelo.
A poll released Friday morning showed the candidates in a statistical tie, with Mucarsel-Powell ahead of Curbelo 46 percent to 45 percent.
FiveThirtyEight now has the race as a virtual toss-up, giving Curbelo 52-48 odds of holding onto his seat.
