Hello John,

This is Annette Taddeo, Democrat and candidate for Governor of Florida against Ron DeSantis. I’m going to ask for your financial support in just a few moments, but first I want to tell you why:

Just a few days after winning my special election for the 40th state Senate district in 2017 – becoming the first Latina Democrat to serve in that chamber – I had the opportunity to visit Puerto Rico as it recovered from the devastation caused by Hurricane Maria.

I saw firsthand the strength and resilience of the Puerto Rican community. And my heart broke for the innocent families who lost everything in the storm, just to be cruelly neglected and ignored by the Trump administration and Republicans in Washington.

Throughout my career as a public servant, I have demonstrated a strong commitment to the Puerto Rican community in Florida. As Governor, I will be a steadfast ally for my Boricua brothers and sisters.

And in May, I plan on making an official visit to Puerto Rico, to hear their concerns, strengthen the connection between our two communities, and continue to empower Hispanic voices across the country.

Right now, I’m asking for your financial support. I am the only Latina to ever run for Governor of Florida and am opposed by a Republican politician in Ron DeSantis who is more than happy to drum up anti-Hispanic sentiment (and disenfranchise Latino voters) just to defeat me.

Can I count on you to chip in $5 to help me stop him?

Contigo,

Annette
