Charlie Crist, Democratic candidate for Governor of Florida, was joined by progressive State Representatives Anna Eskamani and Carlos Guillermo-Smith in unveiling the campaign’s second regional office, located in Central Florida at the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT) headquarters in Orlando.
This office will serve as a hub for staff, grassroots supporters, and volunteers in Central Florida to mobilize and engage voters in the upcoming elections.
“Our campaign’s second regional office in Central Florida will serve as yet another hub for our grassroots supporters to engage and mobilize in our mission to take back the Governor’s Mansion for the people of Florida,” said Crist. “Central Florida is key in our fight for issues impacting folks across the state, from the affordability crisis that is hurting everyday Floridians to climate change that threatens our way of life. I’m grateful to the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades for welcoming us into their home as we work together to defeat Governor DeSantis and build for a Florida that works for All.”
This second grand opening comes on the heels of Crist opening the campaign’s first regional office in South Florida. The Crist campaign noted that this helps solidify his status as the frontrunner in the Democratic primary, with over $11.5 million raised, endorsements from over 160 community leaders and elected officials, including State Senator Annette Taddeo, and as the only Democratic candidate with union support.
Crist has remained focused on Republican Governor Ron DeSantis during the campaign.
