The district encompasses the heart of the black community in Broward County.
40% of the district is African-American and has been represented by black leaders for more than 30 years.
Alcee Hastings and then Sheila Scherfless McCormick.
But after Ron DeSantis' redistricting efforts, District 20 was likely the safest seat for Wasserman Schultz to run in.
As you might imagine, the announcement elicited strong reactions from some in the black community.
Well, the courts threw it out, so we are no longer getting hit with that slap suit, which is a strategic lawsuit against public participation.
The courts threw it out.
And I always thought this case would be thrown out because there was no merit to it.
I have the right to free speech and the right to speak out against public officials who I believe were engaged in corruption.
So that is no longer the case.
Yes.
So we actually had a meeting yesterday afternoon where it was about four hours long where we were talking about consolidating behind one candidate.
You know, if there's a head to head race with Debbie, she's a guaranteed loser in that race.
And she knows that she's running here because she don't think we will consolidate.
And so the conversation is still ongoing.
Qualifying deadline is on Friday.
We believe we need one candidate head to head to beat her.
Well, let's bring it down.
Maybe it ends up being two, but it cannot be four black candidates running against Debbie.
That puts us in a position of weakness.
