       We are facing a coordinated, constitutional assault on Black political representation from the Governor’s mansion down. In a moment of crisis, you do not field an untested army. You send your most experienced, tenacious general. Debbie Wasserman Schultz has the seniority, the grit, and the national platform to break through the partisan blockade in Tallahassee and Washington. Her record of delivering resources to Broward’s diverse communities is indisputable. This election isn’t about dividing our community along racial lines; it is about uniting our community to defend our voting rights with the strongest weapon we have.

       Some people leave their mark through titles and accomplishments. Others leave their mark through kindness, consistency, and a lifetime of service to others. As family and friends prepare to celebrate her 90th birthday, Delois Bailey Porter stands as a shining example of a life well-lived and a legacy still growing.

   A nation cannot exist as both a democracy and an autocracy. One demands accountability, the other demands obedience. One protects the vulnerable; the other protects power. America now stands at that irreversible crossroads—and its current trajectory reveals a disturbing truth.
