This graphic does not represent every candidate running, and we will update as we receive additional photos

We will not be voting at our usual polling place, but rather at designated locations within our specific Congressional district. If you don’t remember which Congressional District you live in, you can check by looking at your voter registration card or by using this tool from the House of Representatives. Please bring your voter registration card or another form of ID to the voting site.

The special meeting to approve our Redistricting Maps will take place on Saturday, April 6th at 10am. This meeting is taking place IN-PERSON at AFSME Local 199 located at 4349 NW 36th Street, Miami Springs, FL 33166. If you cannot attend this meeting, you can find a proxy. Your proxy MUST be a registered Democrat and it CANNOT be a current member of the Democratic Executive Committee (DEC). For Elected DEC members (most of you), your proxy must also reside in the DEC District that you represent.

Note: an earlier e-mail from acting Chair Laura Wagner suggested that the proxy-holder can be another DEC member. That is incorrect. There are new Bylaws that the Florida Democratic Party (FDP) approved last year that allows for that but the proxy provision DOES NOT take effect until December 1, 2024.

The proxy form provided by the FDP can be found here (other forms are also accepted, as long as they have the required fields). You must complete this form and sign it, and either have it notarized or witnessed by two registered Democrats. While we highly encourage you to complete and submit your proxy form by end-of-day Friday, April 5th, we will be accepting proxies until the meeting is called to order. Your proxy should be emailed to [email protected] and [email protected].

• Florida now allows for documents to be notarized electronically by e-notaries.
• Similarly, the FDP allows for proxies to be witnessed electronically too. You can use DocuSign or a similar web software to complete your proxy form.

If you are not familiar with the DEC District that you represent, you can find the list of precincts in your district here. You can also reference the 2020 DEC District map here for your convenience. DO NOT confuse this map with the new one we will be voting on.

The language in our bylaws regarding proxies can be found by clicking "Read More". If you have any questions, please reach out to Laura Wagner at [email protected].

The Miami-Dade Democratic Executive Committee will be meeting on Saturday, April 6th at 10:00 am in person to approve new DEC redistricting maps that have been created to the specifications of our bylaws. These requirements are in place to ensure every Democrat, in every part of our county, has representation in our body. 

April 6th Meeting Location, meeting starting at 10:00 am:
AFSME Local 199 
4349 NW 36th Street 
Miami Springs, FL 33166

The precincts allocated to each DEC district can be found here. The Supervisor of Elections will soon be providing us with a draft map for those of us who are more visual. We are also providing the language in our bylaws that we are required to comply with, just hit "read more".

The Miami-Dade Democratic Executive Committee (DEC) is a volunteer-run organization made up of dedicated Democrats of all ages and backgrounds hailing from all parts of the County, united to elect Democrats and support our Democratic elected officials at the Municipal, County, State, and Federal levels. As Acting Chair of the DEC, I object to the Florida Democratic Party Chair’s decision to override the will of our membership.

Democrats Raise the Alarm: Proposal to End Vote-By-Mail Would Turn Back the Clock on Democracy in Florida

Two bills just proposed to begin the Florida legislative session, SB 1752, and its even more odious house companion, HB 1669, if enacted, will rob Floridians of their access to Vote-By-Mail. Millions of Floridians voted by mail in recent elections – more than two and a quarter million of them in the 2022 midterms, and nearly five million of them in the last Presidential election. Republicans want to turn back the clock 25 years, suppressing the votes of working people, elderly voters, communities of color, college students and more.

The Miami-Dade Democratic Party is pleased and proud to announce that Senator Annette Taddeo, who served as county party chair from 2012 to 2014 and founded the party’s Blue Gala, will be chairing the party’s 10th anniversary of its annual fundraising event.

The 2023 Florida legislative session was among the most extremist on record. 

A number of the laws passed are already tied up in the courts with lawsuits challenging their constitutionality, including the 6-week abortion ban, the ban on gender-affirming care for minors, new restrictions on drag performances, and parts of the HB 7050 suppression bill. 

But many widely unpopular and repressive new laws went into effect on July 1.
