Susan Smith, President of the Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida, released the following statement:
Congratulations to DPCF member Annette Taddeo on her hard-fought win in the Senate District 40 Special Election! This was a big victory for Annette, but more importantly, for the people of Florida.
Yesterday with the election of Annette Taddeo, the voters of Senate District 40 said yes to progress. They said yes to an academically sound, well-funded public education system and no to unaccountable, for-profit corporate charter schools. They said yes to safe drinking water and no to dangerous practices like fracking that can destroy Florida's precious environment. They said yes to improved infrastructure with better transit options and no to high tolls and road privatization. They said yes to putting the interests of the people over the interests of the powerful.
In the SD 40 race, the voters chose a progressive voice to represent them in Tallahassee. They chose Annette Taddeo because she will support policies that protect the many, not the few.
