Josh Weil did quite well in our Florida CD-6 Special Election in April 2025. He did not win, but he overperformed the CD-6 candidate from November 2024 by 19 points. He overperformed Harris/Waltz in CD-6 by 16 points. The education we local Democrat leaders and volunteers received from being up-close and personal to Josh’s amazing campaign was invaluable. I still text him every couple of weeks for advice about something, and he always responds immediately. We are lucky to have him on our side.
