The Florida Democratic Party has announced the opening of 40 new “grassroots offices” as campaigns try to close out the final five weeks of the midterm elections.
A statement released by Democratic Party officials say the openings will kick off Wednesday, Oct. 3 and will continue through the weekend alongside several get-out-the-vote activities.
“Opening 40 offices in one week is a monumental feat and it is truly a team effort – with massive support from the entire ‘Democratic Winning Ticket,’ including Sen. Bill Nelson, Mayor Andrew Gillum, our Cabinet nominees, state legislative candidates and Democrats running for local office across the state,” party Chair Terrie Rizzo said.
The offices are slated to open in West Palm Beach, Plantation, St. Augustine, Orlando, Jacksonville and Panama City, among other places. Florida Democrats also say they recently trained an additional 200 field organizers.
