Dear John,

The past few weeks have been difficult for residents across our state. Hurricanes Helene and Milton have damaged people’s homes, jeopardized small businesses, and disrupted the infrastructure that supports our lives. Floridians are hurting, and we at Ruth’s List are no different. 

Our hearts go out to those impacted by these terrible storms. We believe that Florida is strong and that by working together we will rebuild and recover. We are particularly proud to see so many of our Ruth’s List-endorsed candidates on the ground, mobilizing their volunteers for relief efforts and directly helping their community members. 

We’re reaching out to wish you well during this period of recovery but also to remind you that Election Day is now only 3 weeks away. Despite the heartbreak and chaos of the last few weeks, the most important election in our lifetimes for women’s reproductive rights is quickly approaching, and we want to make sure that you’re ready to vote. 

Remember to:

- Return your vote-by-mail ballot (If your mail ballot was lost or damaged due to the hurricanes, please contact your county’s Supervisor of Elections Office to request a new ballot).  

- Check when Early Voting starts in your county.

- Locate your precinct’s Election Day polling station.

- If you can, volunteer with or donate to a Ruth’s List-endorsed candidate in your area to help them power through Election Day.

John, we also want to know, what’s your vote plan in 2024? Are you voting by mail, during early voting, or in-person on Election Day? Have your plans changed due to the impacts of the storms? 

Thank you for supporting Ruth’s List and Democratic pro-choice women running for office in Florida. We will get through these challenging times together, and we remain committed to electing women leaders and making Floridians’ voices heard at the ballot box this year! 

Keep Fighting,

Christina Diamond

CEO, Ruth's List Florida
