ANOTHER PRO-CHOICE CHAMPION
Val Demings is currently serving in the U.S. House representing Florida’s 10th Congressional District. She has served in the House since 2017. Demings is running for election to the U.S. Senate against Republican Marco Rubio. Rubio is a MAGA Trump supporter still claiming the 2020 Presidential Election was stolen and has one of the poorest attendance records in the U.S. Senate.
Demings was the first in her family to attend college. She worked at a fast food restaurant to pay her way. She earned a B.S. in criminology from Florida State University, and an M.P.A. from Webster University. Her career began as a social worker, working to protect foster children. Later, she moved to Orlando to join the police force. During her 27- year career there, she served in almost every department, ultimately becoming the first female Chief of Police. WHEN elected, she would be the first African American ever elected to the Senate from Florida.
After retiring from the police force, Demings was elected to the U.S. House. During her time in the Congress she has served on the Committee on Homeland Security and the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. During the current session she has also served on the Committee on Judiciary.
Unlike her opponent, Val Demings has a reputation as a tireless champion for public safety, civil rights and the environment and one who truly serves her constituents. Florida – everyone – needs Val Demings. VOTE!
