FL Phoenix: “Two months after the Florida Democratic Party suffered one of its worst elections in modern history, Party Chair Manny Diaz announced on Monday that he was resigning from office.
“After much reflection, I regret to inform you that I have chosen to retire as FDP Chair, effective immediately,” Diaz wrote in a five-page letter addressed to Democratic Executive Committee chairs and other Florida Democrats on Monday afternoon. “It has been a pleasure and honor to work with you, and, rest assured, I will continue to fight with you to get Democrats elected.”
In the 2022 mid-term election, Democrats lost every statewide race on the ballot. They also lost several major legislative races as well, with their representation now whittled down to just 35 members in the 120-member Florida House and 12 in the 40-member Senate, giving Republicans a “supermajority” status in both chambers.”
