Equal Ground extends our well wishes to all elected officials recently sworn into office throughout the state of Florida. As you take on this significant responsibility, we urge you to honor the trust voters have placed in you by leading with integrity, fairness, and a steadfast commitment to serving the public good. The work ahead is vital, and we are hopeful you exhibit thoughtful leadership that prioritizes the needs of all Floridians.
We want to specifically acknowledge and celebrate Hon. Monique Worrell, whose return to office as State Attorney for Florida’s Ninth Judicial Circuit is a testament to her resilience and dedication. Despite facing extraordinary challenges posed by her political opponents, she has remained unwavering in her mission to bring fairness and equity to Florida’s justice system. Her leadership reflects the transformative change voters have embraced, and her perseverance continues to inspire us all.
As a voting rights organization deeply committed to social justice, Equal Ground has been proud to work with leaders like Monique Worrell. We have tirelessly advocated for justice and stood against actions that threaten fairness and accountability. From mobilizing allies to stand in support of democratic principles in Tallahassee to amplifying calls for transparency, we remain committed to upholding the integrity of our institutions. It is our sincere hope that efforts to undermine the will of voters and the leadership chosen by them will cease, allowing the democratic process to be respected and upheld.
