Congratulations to the new FDP Chairwoman

Yesterday's Chair election went very smooth. The Leon County Young Democrats wish to congratulate Congresswoman Karen Thurman on her election as Chair of the Florida Democratic Party.

After the election Chair Thurman gave a rousing speech on what we will all be doing as a party over the next few years. We look forward to working with the new Chair and continuing our close relationship with the Florida Democratic Party.

I am happy about Karen Thurman. She was my choice for state chair. Fortunately, I have heard that she fired the entire staff at the FDP. Great move! They were all a bunch of Maddox sheep, and frankly not very good at politics. They have been running the FDP into the ground for two years. Good riddance to all of them. They were complete losers.

It was disappointing that Scott Maddox ignored the rules and held the election even though it violated the party's rules. He can't be trusted to do what is right, and that is why a lot of Democrats, this one included, will be voting for Charlie Crist next year if Maddox gets the nomination. He's an embarrassment to the Democratic Party.

Anonymous, welcome back to our friendly website. We are also very excited about the election of Karen Thurman. I think that she is what the party needs right now.

The LCYDs had several representatives at the State Executive Committee meeting and observed that it went very well. The rules were followed in accordance with the rules committee and the with the FDP legal counsel.

The LCYDs, being located in our state's great capital, enjoy a good relationship with the FDP. No one has been fired from the Florida Democratic Party. Several staff members have gone on to other projects, but were planning on leaving no matter who was elected Chair.

A democrat should support whomever gets the party nomination for Governor. If you care about the State of Florida you should be with us. First working to get your chosen candidate out of the primary, if you have one, and then working hard to get the winner of the Democratic primary elected to that office. Our worst candidate is better than the Republicans’ best on every issue.
