Press release from the Broward Delegation to the Democratic National Convention (DNC):

FL-25 Delegates Stand With President Joe Biden

Weston, FL: Delegates to the Democratic National Convention from Florida’s 25th Congressional District are today standing firmly behind President Biden.   

“President Biden, the only person ever to defeat Donald Trump, is our best choice this November. We know he has what it takes to save our democracy. Over the past four years, the President has also delivered the most successful legislative agenda of any president and brought America back onto the global stage. We must finish the job,” the slate said.  

“We condemn calls for the President to drop out of the race. We must work to ensure we win and save America from Project 2025 – a blueprint for destroying our democracy. A felon with the morals of an alley cat should not be in the White House.” 

The delegates include five district-level delegates: former White House intern and youth activist Charles Horowitz; former Broward County Democratic Party executive director Ryann Greenberg; current Broward Democratic Party corresponding secretary Daniel Mulieri; former Broward County mayor Barbara Sharief; and Haitian-American Democratic Club of Florida President Ronald Surin. They also include Pembroke Pines Democratic Club President Lourdes Ferrer-Diaz, who is serving as a party leader/elected official (PLEO) delegate.

These delegates comprise the Take Back Florida slate – the most diverse group of delegates ever to be elected by the voters of Florida’s 25th Congressional District.

Lauren Book

Longtime Pembroke Pines Mayor Frank Ortis endorsed State Senator Lauren Book on Tuesday. Book is facing a tough primary challenge from former Broward County Commissioner Barbara Sharief. Here’s the press release from the Book campaign:

DAVIE, Fla. – The campaign to re-elect Senate Democratic Leader Lauren Book is proud to announce strong support and endorsement from Pembroke Pines Mayor Frank Ortis, who knows Senator Book’s proven track record delivering results for the City of Pembroke Pines and Broward County is exactly the kind of leadership our community needs in the Florida Senate.

“I’m proud to support and endorse Lauren Book as our State Senator because she’s a strong champion for Broward families,” says Mayor Ortis, one of South Florida’s most beloved and respected public servants. “She’s always fought hard to deliver results for Pembroke Pines and always stood strong to bring the greatest resources from the Legislature. She makes us proud and I’m excited to support her campaign.”

A champion for Broward County, Senator Book is a tireless and effective fighter and legislative leader who has made a real difference for families in our community and across the state – successfully fighting to keep children safe from sexual predators, make our schools and communities safer, protect seniors, reform the child welfare system, support first responders, and so much more — earning Senator Book praise and respect from Mayor Ortis and other local leaders.

“I am proud to have earned the support of Pembroke Pines Mayor Frank Ortis,” says Senator Book, who has represented Western Broward County — including Pembroke Pines — in the Florida Senate since 2016. “Together with strong local leaders like Mayor Ortis, we will continue to fight for policies that benefit Broward families and all residents, including tackling the ongoing affordability crisis and keeping our kids and communities safe.”
