John,

The basketball court is a showcase of world-class talent, and for NBA star Dwyane Wade, it has always been a platform for advocacy. Known for his hall-of-fame career playing for the Miami Heat for well over a decade, Wade has demonstrated the same tenacity and leadership off-court that made him one of the most respected shooting guards in NBA history.

Today, there is an opportunity for Dwyane Wade to envision a new role, one that calls for a different kind of leadership: a U.S. Senator representing Florida.

The proposal is not as far-fetched as it may seem. The political sphere has seen its fair share of celebrities who have successfully transitioned from their respective fields. The key lies in their wide-reaching influence, their ability to rally support, and their potential to bring fresh perspectives to the table. For Wade, his personal experiences and advocacy work present him as a well-rounded candidate, capable of championing a diverse range of issues and winning against Rick Scott in 2024.

Perhaps the most personal issue Wade would bring to the election is LGBTQ+ rights. Wade's family was forced to relocate from Florida to California due to Florida's increasing hostility towards the LGBTQ+ community and this decision was made directly because of the experiences of his transgender daughter, Zaya.

Wade's commitment to supporting his daughter, and the LGBTQ+ community at large, is a testament to his capacity for empathy and understanding, essential qualities in any political leader. His personal stake in these issues offers a unique perspective and that’s why he must move back to the state he’s called home for years to run against Rick Scott and fight for Zaya and all LGBTQ+ people at the epicenter of the fight for equality and rights.

Tell Dwyane Wade to answer the call, inspire a movement, and reshape the future of Florida and all of the United States. Run for the Senate and ignite the spark of change!

Dwyane Wade's activism extends beyond advocating for LGBTQ+ rights, encompassing an impressive range of issues. Time and time again, he has shown a dedicated stance on gun control, persistently advocating for stricter laws in response to the numerous mass shootings that have plagued our nation.

Additionally, he has been a vocal critic of the U.S. criminal justice system, openly challenging mass incarceration and championing organizations, including his own, Social Change Fund United, that are striving for reform. His advocacy holds promise for driving much-needed changes in the system.

And in early childhood education, Wade has underscored its significance for getting him to where he is today, and that’s why he helps fund literacy programs for inner-city youth to take on existing gaps and inequalities in the education system.

On top of all of that, he is also a staunch supporter of voting rights, expressing strong opposition to voter suppression and backing organizations that safeguard these rights. From spotlighting issues on mental health, homelessness, and poverty, Wade has a holistic understanding of the challenges our nation faces and is willing to confront them head-on.

The 2024 election is gearing up already and our call for Dwyane Wade to enter the electoral arena because of his wide-ranging advocacy and leadership must grow louder. Call on NBA Star Dwyane Wade to Bring the Heat to the U.S. Senate now.

A Dwyane Wade candidacy against Senator Rick Scott would not only bring the name recognition needed to win a statewide race in Florida but would also be a catalyst for change sorely needed in today’s political climate.

While the transition from NBA star to U.S. Senator may be a challenging one, Wade's history shows he is no stranger to overcoming hurdles. His entry into politics would provide a fresh perspective, and foster a more inclusive and understanding political climate.

Democrats have a chance to replace Republican Rick Scott with a true leader, let's work together to make it happen.
