Florida GOP launches ‘Blue County Strategy Committee’ to ‘pick off’ Democrat-held seats.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (FLV) – The Republican Party of Florida launched the “Blue County Strategy Committee,” which will be laser focused on “picking off” Democrat-held seats at every level of government.
This committee is focused on the five holdout counties from the 2022 election, Alachua, Broward, Gadsden, Leon and Orange, while also engaging other battleground counties that recently flipped, according to party Chairman Christian Ziegler.
“Governor DeSantis set the bar high, winning 62 of 67 counties in Florida, but our job is not done until we win the other five counties are red and there are no Democrats in office or considering running for office in the State of Florida,” Ziegler said.
“To accomplish that, I have launched the FloridaGOP Blue County Strategy Committee, which will be laser focused on holding every Democrat in office accountable and picking off Democrat-held seats at every level of government, local, state and federal,” Ziegler explained.
According to Ziegler, this committee will be headed up by Duval GOP Chairman Dean Black, who recently helped lead massive wins last November in battleground Duval County.
“We are known as the free state of Florida, and our battleground cities, when we have flipped them successfully, and when we have examples of conservatively-led cities, our cities will be the example to the mismanaged Democrat cities throughout the country, in the same way that Florida is an example to other states,” Black continued.
Members from “battleground counties,” defined as counties which Gov. Ron DeSantis won by less than 60% (such as Duval, Hillsborough, Miami-Dade, Osceola, Palm Beach, Pinellas, Seminole and St. Lucie) are strongly encouraged to join the committee to “help advise on how to best battle in and win in a blue county,” according to Ziegler.
