Gen Z activists urge Annette Taddeo to run for Florida Democratic Party Chair
Twenty-four progressive Gen Z activists from across the state are throwing their collective support behind a potential run at the top post in the Florida Democratic Party by former state Sen. Annette Taddeo.
In a joint letter Monday, the self-described group of “24 of the most influential Gen Z activists in Florida” noted how turnout among their age group during the 2022 midterm helped repel a “red wave” nationwide — except in the Sunshine State.
All across Florida, Democrats lost seats up and down the ballot in historically liberal strongholds and among key demographics, particularly young voters.
With the recent resignation of Democratic Party Chair Manny Diaz, the writing is on the wall, according to the authors of the letter. To avoid losing more ground, they wrote, Democrats need to realign their priorities, reinvigorate registration efforts and retool their operations, and Taddeo is the right person to lead the charge.
“Not only do we fervently believe Annette will be a leader for all Democrats, but she will be a true partner who will prioritize renewed outreach to Florida’s youngest while working with us to increase our representation in the state party and unleash the strength of the nation’s youngest voter demographic in the Sunshine State and across America,” the letter said.
