Val Demings, Charlie Crist hold campaign events in Broward with focus on defeating Republican opponents

TAMARAC, Fla. – Florida’s top Democratic candidates were in South Florida to help kick off the party’s push to beat out the Republicans they running to replace, Governor Ron DeSantis and Senator Marco Rubio.

Fresh off a big primary win, Val Demings returned to Broward County on Thursday night.

She shifted her campaign speech to cater to a crowd of military veterans.

“We need to make sure that our VA hospitals all over this nation are able to protect you, take care of you, and you shouldn’t have to wait six months, eight months, a year to be able to see a specialist,” she said.

The Democratic congresswoman is on the November ballot trying to unseat Rubio, and recent polls show a tightening race.

In fact, Demings is out-raising Rubio.

The most recent dunning cycle shows Rubio took in $36 million dollars compared while Demings raised $48 million.

It’s something Rubio has acknowledged in recent speeches and television interviews.

“I need people to help, but she’s raising all this money from ultra-liberals who want to ruin Florida by the way,” Rubio said during a recent interview.

The other big ticket to watch in Florida is the governor’s race, where Charlie Crist is campaigning to win his old job back.

Time will tell if his efforts will be enough to head off the support from Republicans for Ron DeSantis.

Crist also spent his Thursday night campaigning in Tamarac at a Unity for Democrats event.

Alongside his one-time Democratic challenger Nikki Fried, she has since thrown her support toward Crist.

“We have our task ahead of us,” he said. “We know what the mission is. The mission is victory. Nothing short of victory. Failure is not an option.”

South Floridians observing Juneteenth at special events in Miami-Dade and Broward

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Juneteenth is a day now recognized as federal holiday that marks the end of slavery in the United States.

One of the largest Juneteenth celebrations in the state is happening in South Florida, and a little rain isn’t going to stop the event.

“To teach our youngsters that come behind us, it’s very, very important that they know what this day represents,” said Kathy Cole.

The event happening at Calder Casino in Miami Gardens is called aa park-in party.

What this means is that participants are encouraged to drive here and enjoy the stage festivities from inside of their vehicles.

There are a number of artists slated to perform, from local acts to national names like the headliner, Doug E. Fresh.

The event is also an educational opportunity for many families.

“Just to celebrate the meaning of Juneteenth and make them understand it’s a family affair and we should all unite and be a family,” said Michelle Burgess.

Added Jonell Murphy: “This is very important. This is something that is not really taught in school, so we’re here today.”

There’s been a weekend of activities across South Florida. In fact, in Broward County people gathered along the water in Dania Beach to observe the holiday.

That Juneteenth event was called Joy Festival, restoring joy to Black communities.

These events speak directly to the history of what is now a federal holiday to mark the emancipation of slaves during the civil war.

“It’s such a joy to see people from all walks of life, Black, White, Indian, Caribbean, coming together to celebrate the history of Juneteenth and what it represents,” said Nerissa Street.
