Ron DeSantis campaign announces team has knocked on 2 million doors
Ron DeSantis rallies will be gun-free zones.

The campaign announced 'historic' milestones for outreach.

They’ve gone knocking to get Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis re-elected, and he’s going into Election Day with the force of two million doors knocked upon, Team DeSantis announced Friday.

The campaign reached the milestone one week before the election, according to a news release about the “unprecedented voter contact” from the campaign. It indicates Florida Republicans are doubling down on the ground game largely credited with propelling them past Democrats in 2020, as Democrats largely avoided person-to-person voter contact during the earlier days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The news release predicts a “resounding victory,” on Nov. 8.

The door-to-door effort is spreading the word about how the Governor’s “Freedom Agenda” is keeping Florida free, the news release says. Democratic gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist, meanwhile, is running against rolling back abortion rights and reining in costs like property insurance.

“We are seeing such overwhelming enthusiasm because of the policy accomplishments we’ve been able to deliver for the people of Florida,” the Governor said in the press release, listing tax relief, parental rights and environmental conservation among the accomplishments canvassers are jawing up.

First Lady Casey DeSantis voter outreach effort, “Mamas for DeSantis,” also announced it has “mobilized” more than a million mothers who will be charging to the polls to re-elect DeSantis, Friday’s news release said. The effort began in June.

“Today’s historic announcement is further proof that Florida is fired up and ready to work hard to re-elect our Governor,” the First Lady said, according to the news release.

The effort has made “tangible outreach” to new mothers and moms across the political spectrum.

“Our incredible volunteers and supporters have powered the largest movement of parents in Florida history to re-elect Governor DeSantis,” said the First Lady, the mother of three young children.

The early voting results seem to show enthusiasm is on the Republicans’ side. Combined vote-by-mail and early voting numbers show more than a quarter million more Republicans have voted than Democrats, according to totals reported Friday morning. Polls show that the Governor could win re-election by double digits over Crist on Nov. 8.

    If someone like FAKE TOM came to my door to preach the far right gospel he’d end up worse than Rubio canvasser. Of course they aren’t sending FAKE TOM because embarrassment. Even compared to Rubio canvasser FAKE TOM is an embarrassment.

    I assure you I don’t live in someone else’s house. Judging by your views and demeanor…you are not a rich or particularly educated human being.

        See, you don’t know that. You are assuming things and stating things you couldn’t possibly know as if they are fact. Who would then assume a man that does these things is educated? No one is trying to intimidate anyone either. You’re a goddamn nut! God help the community that you live in.

          Don’t worry my community which was almost 1,800 strong GQP, turned them away at the gate. Up and down my street in 11 different communities let the word spread. Dressed like the MAGAts do in their flag uniforms does not cut in in 750K+++ communities.
          My sister also in Sarasota. But they have another reason, they were not happy with DeSantis and Ian. She is the President of her board and put out the word on the community website, if anyone wanted to speak to them, they better be responsible for seeing them out I they let them in the gate or they could meet them at the gate and speak to them, or they would be fined.

        Speaking of buying, what are Christian Nationalist Ron’s Big Money Donor’s saying about Ron’s new blasphemous campaign ad?

        God has an actual speaking part! In the 96 second production God talks about how on the 8th day, he made Desantis to be a “fighter” governor to protect freedom and save America!!

        NOT JUST A GROOMER! RON”S A BLASPHEMER TOO!
