Dear John, Last weekend, we witnessed history as Donna Deegan was sworn in as the first woman mayor of Jacksonville, becoming the third woman to currently lead one of Florida's largest metro areas. Donna's inauguration as mayor is not only a monumental personal achievement but also a triumph for all of us who have fought tirelessly for gender equality and representation in political leadership. Her groundbreaking victory serves as hope and inspiration for women across the state, proving that glass ceilings can be shattered and barriers can be overcome.
As the only organization in Florida dedicated to electing Democratic pro-choice women, we are committed to recruiting and electing women like Donna. Her tenure as mayor will undoubtedly bring fresh perspectives, innovative approaches, and a renewed focus on the top-of-mind issues for the people of Jacksonville. This is why women’s leadership matters. |
