McEntee Calls on Democrats to Seat Florida Delegates
AFSCME president calls for delegates elected in today's Florida primary to be seated at the Democratic National Convention.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Gerald W. McEntee, President of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, AFL-CIO, today called on the Democratic Party to seat delegates elected in today's Florida primary at the Democratic National Convention. McEntee said:
“The voice and votes of Democrats in Florida should be heard. While the candidates did not campaign in Florida, the voters have turned out and sent a clear message that they want a new direction for this country. When the Democrats gather in Denver this summer, the voters of Florida should not be left out. The delegates elected from Florida should be seated as full participants in the convention.”
