					<description><![CDATA[The Florida Education Association has put another $25,000 into the political committee chaired by Orlando Democratic Rep. Randolph Bracy, who is running in a four-way primary for the newly redrawn Senate District 11. The “Floridians for Progress” political committee has brought in $55,000 in contributions from the teachers&#8217; union, which accounts for nearly half of its contributions to date. Bracy is leading the pack in fundraising one week out from the primary election, with former Sen. Gary Siplin holding the&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Florida Supreme Court&#8217;s decision of a year ago to declare eight of the state&#8217;s 27 congressional districts to be drawn up in violation of the state&#8217;s constitution was greeted with delight by Democrats, and not just in Florida. Although the odds of recapturing the House of Representatives are considered extremely low this fall, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is certainly going to keep hope alive during the party&#8217;s convention week in Philadelphia, and she praised Florida Democrats for fighting&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Last month, several state lawmakers were elected, or re-elected, without opposition. Offering congratulations and well wishes to this new crop of legislators is Orlando Democratic state Sen. Geraldine Thompson. But that’s not all. Thompson has been busy leaving messages on answering machines across the state: “Hello, this is Senator Geraldine Thompson calling to congratulate you on being elected without opposition …” How nice. However, what she says next brings up a serious concern. You see, many of those receiving calls have campaign&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Politics never takes a day off, and some would probably say it shouldn&#8217;t. Take the reaction this week to the shooting massacre in Orlando. Democrats have done what they believe urgently needs to be done to lessen the possibility of further mass gun shootings, by introducing gun control legislation in Washington. In Washington early this morning, Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy put himself into the history book with a nearly 15-hour filibuster to force the Senate to take action to address gun violence.

Rick Scott and Senate President Andy Gardiner for a special legislative session to try and pass forward laws to ban suspected terror suspects from buying guns. Sen. Darren Soto, Rep. John Cortes, Sen. Geraldine Thompson and others gathered in front of the Orange County Courthouse on Orange Avenue and made their statement unified: it&#8217;s time to act on guns.

					<description><![CDATA[Former Florida Democratic Party state chairman Bob Poe revealed Thursday that he&#8217;s HIV-positive. The 61-year-old Democrat says in a video that he&#8217;s healthy because he got tested and diagnosed early, but he wanted to share his condition publicly to &#8220;remove the fear, the stigma and the shame that goes with this.&#8221; &#8220;It&#8217;s those things that keep people from getting the diagnosis and the treatment that they need to live perfectly healthy lives like I have,&#8221; he says. &#8220;I have a motto in my life:&#8230;]]></description>
