“Our team reached this goal today through direct voter contact. Each voter who signed a petition was contacted by someone from our team and chose to sign.  It is a testament to hard work, a positive message, and a firm grasp on the issues important to voters that this milestone was achieved. The overwhelming show of support – both at the grassroots through petitions and financially – is very energizing. Voters know, as do I, that the election is not the end of the work but the first step to securing Florida’s financial, educational, and health care future.  I thank all of those who signed petitions and am honored by their support.”
