Democrats of Indian River had a fantastic time participating in the City of Sebastian's 4th of July Freedom Festival. Proud Democrats marched in the parade and hosted a booth at Riverside Park. Our volunteers engaged with voters from across the county, and one thing is abundantly clear: the truth about Project 2025 is spreading. Voters are deeply concerned about the direction our country will take if Trump is re-elected this November.

Last week, the Debbie Murcarsel-Powell campaign hosted a Meet & Greet event with Indian River County Democrat leaders. This was a great opportunity to meet Debbie, who came to the U.S. from South America at a young age, fleeing violence and searching for a better life. The round table discussion covered topics from Debbie's plan to reduce high insurance costs and protect social security and medicare to protecting women's rights and keeping communities safe from gun violence.

Republicans have used every dirty trick in the book to suppress votes in Florida. From enhancing criminal penalties and fines for those who assist Floridians in registering to vote, to canceling millions of vote-by-mail requests and created extra restrictions on drop boxes, Desantis and his cronies have targeted the tools and methods most critical to engaging voters.
