Debbie Mercsile Powell aims to unseat Republican Senator Rick Scott in Florida

Former Democratic congresswoman Debbie Mercsile Powell is running for Senate in Florida, aiming to unseat Republican Senator Rick Scott. She believes that Florida is not a red state but one that has been gerrymandered and faces voter suppression. To win, she believes that the Democratic base needs to be energized and engaged through effective organizing and infrastructure. She also highlights the importance of addressing key issues in Florida, such as climate change and supporting diverse communities. Mercsile Powell sees the upcoming election as a choice between her progressive platform and the MAGA agenda, and believes that Democratic efforts can succeed with the right investment and engagement.
