A Letter From Our Chair​
Cynthia Burton
November 4th was a big day for Democrats nationally, as well as statewide. Florida Democrats won or advanced to runoffs in roughly 60% of the local races we contested.
​
Putnam County’s elections are coming in 2026. Let’s get ready!
Your list for Santa should include a good pair of walking shoes, a cell phone and a fanny pack with a water bottle pocket, so you can comfortably join us in this endeavor.
I wish all a very happy holiday season. Let’s stay focused and continue the blue wave in 2026!
