El pueblo de Venezuela votó en números sin precedentes, y el Comité Ejecutivo Demócrata (DEC) de Miami-Dade los aplaude y apoya por su valentía y compromiso con la democracia. También apoyamos a la comunidad venezolana de Miami-Dade que ha defendido ferozmente la libertad y la democracia del cruel régimen de Chávez-Maduro durante más de 25 años.

The Miami-Dade Democratic Executive Committee (DEC) strongly denounces and condemns Nicolas Maduro’s attempt to steal the Venezuelan presidential election and subvert the will of the Venezuelan people. Voters turned out in unprecedented numbers, showing great courage and commitment to democracy, and it is abhorrent that the Maduro regime is attempting to silence their voices.

Today, over 200 leaders of the Florida Democratic Party announced their support of Kamala Harris for President of the United States.

“It’s time for Democrats to unite in support of Vice President Kamala Harris,” said Miami-Dade Democratic Party Chair Shevrin Jones. “Here’s my message to Florida Democrats and Democrats across the country: It is the Republicans’ dream to sit back and watch us fight each other and create chaos, but we don’t have to show them chaos. We can in turn show them unity and strength. Don’t get it twisted: the Republicans are scared because they know what we have known all the while — and that is that Kamala Harris can win and she will win.”

Following yesterday’s announcement that President Biden would not be seeking reelection, Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried, Florida House Democratic Leader Fentrice Driskell, Florida Senate Democratic Leader Lauren Book, and 236 of Florida’s Democratic National Convention Delegates — including all of Florida’s elected congressional Democrats and Democratic National Committee members — are backing Vice President Harris’s bid to replace President Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket. 

The Miami-Dade Democratic Party is thrilled to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Commissioners Oliver Gilbert, Eileen Higgins, and Kionne McGhee on their automatic re-election to the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners. Their unwavering dedication and exemplary service have earned them another four years in office, allowing them to continue their vital work for our community.
