Florida– there are two critically important special elections coming up on April 1st that could bring some sense of balance, some sanity back to Congress. Vote for Gay Valimont (FL-01) & Josh Weil (FL-06). We need these two voices of reason in the US House. We’re one week away. Make a plan to vote.
