Tampa Bay Times: In U.S. Senate race, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell for Democrats
- The clear answer is Debbie Mucarsel-Powell. A former member of Congress, Mucarsel-Powell has a solidly Democratic agenda — protecting health care, Social Security, the environment and abortion rights.
- She’s also built a statewide campaign as she seeks statewide office, and she’s not afraid to confront Scott on the core issues that divide them.
- While in Congress, Mucarsel-Powell worked to expand Medicare and to further Everglades restoration. A Miami resident, she promises the same focus on health care, the environment and individual rights if elected to the Senate.
- Mucarsel-Powell embraces the concerns of everyday Americans with a moderate approach to getting things done.
- She wants to address the high cost of living by extending the Child Tax Credit and developing America’s domestic solar industry to compete with China. She vows to protect a woman’s reproductive rights and to work across partisan lines on a comprehensive border security bill. She also promises to protect Social Security and Medicare and to explore “common sense” ways to curb gun violence.
- “We must end the gridlock,” she told the Times Editorial Board. “And that starts with electing new leaders ready to work across the aisle and solve the issues facing Florida.”
- She’s raised more than 10 times the amount of her challengers combined, and her endorsements include major organizations with big followings, from the gun-safety group Brady PAC and Emily’s List to the League of Conservation Voters, Latino Victory, Planned Parenthood and SEIU Florida, one of the state’s largest unions.
- The Tampa Bay Times Editorial Board recommends Debbie Mucarsel-Powell in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate.
