"I’m about to sign the Inflation Reduction Act into law, one of the most significant laws in our history. Let me say from the start: With this law, the American people won and the special interests lost. The American people won and the special interests lost….And remember: Every single Republican in Congress voted against this bill. Every single Republican in Congress voted against lowering prescription drug prices, against lowering healthcare costs, against a fairer tax system. Every single Republican — every single one — voted against tackling the climate crisis, against lowering our energy costs, against creating good-paying jobs.”
— President Joe Biden

A Farewell Message from Stacey Klim
5 years ago, my family moved to Vero Beach from Washington State to take care of my in-laws. I had no idea what was in store for us, but I knew we were doing the right thing for our family. Little did I know the wonderful little community of like-minded people that awaited. After running for School Board in 2018, I was offered a job as the first Operations Coordinator for the Democrats of Indian River. The DEC at the time was progressive in thinking that for IRC Democrats to succeed in getting voters to the polls, engaging our community, moving the needle, and electing Democrats to office, we needed structure and stability. When I started on March 1, 2019, I was welcomed by a community of volunteers who had worked diligently and tirelessly for years. I was in awe of their passion and desire to change our community for the better. They, and you, are still here fighting the good fight.
Over the past 3 years, I have come to know so many of you. I feel so lucky to have been a part of your life as you have been a part of mine. Words can’t express my gratitude for everything you have done for me and my family here in Vero. I simply cannot sum up what everyone has meant to me, you will forever be a part of my life.
On Monday, we head back home to Washington State where I have accepted a position working for the Washington State Department of Education as a Foster Care Program Specialist. We are excited to return home to our mountains and my family. But as we drive away, I will be thinking of all of you and wishing you all the best. Keep working hard and keep voting. With your help and involvement, Florida has a chance. Here's to a BLUE November in Florida!
