Dear Broward Democrats,

The 2016 Broward Democratic Party Victory Dinner was a resounding success. We had an outstanding turnout – Almost 500 people attended and over $120,000 was raised at the event.

Gov. Dannel Malloy of Connecticut gave an inspiring keynote speech on important issues like the restoration of voting rights, and environmental protection and water issues here in Florida. He also earned his credentials as the Chair of the Democratic Governors Association by calling on us to focus on long-term strategies for Broward that will allow us to not only win the Presidential Election in 2016, but also the Gubernatorial Election in 2018. We look forward to growing our partnership with the Governor, and working with the DGA in the next election cycle.

Thank you to everyone who was able to join us this year!  A special thank you to our Florida Democratic Party Chair Allison Tant for her support of the event.  And, of course, we want to express our gratitude to our generous event sponsors (listed below) as well the artists who donated their time to make the event truly memorable, Carolyn Jones, Ernesto Torres, Jery Bazua, Commando and Hora Loca.

We look forward to a successful 2016 Election Cycle!

Cynthia Busch, Acting Chair Broward Democratic Executive Committee

Post Election Note from Broward Democratic Chair Mitch Ceasar

/in /by

From: Chairman Ceasar
Election 2014 is concluded and it was not a pleasant experience in Florida or nationally. However you should all be proud of your work during this cycle. You where magnificent. You volunteered for phone banks, knocked on doors, worked early voting and distributed Palm Cards.

The Crist Campaign had informed me that they needed a Broward margin of approximately 175 thousand votes. Broward delivered 176 thousand. With a turnout of almost 46 percent. This is a substantial increase over 2010. That was accomplished even through many of our senior super voters have been lost over the last four years. We spent advertising dollars in the minority community. This was about boosting turnout and “doing the right thing”.
We picked up numerous municipal seats by beating Republicans. In fact, the Coral Springs City Commission is now a Democratic majority. Additionally our north end folks ensured a return of Congresswomen Lois Frankel and State Senator Maria Sachs.

You performed all of these good works despite a National Republican wave. I so much appreciate your endless days of hard work. Thank you for being so awesome.
