Florida’s Democratic Party Is in Shambles

NPR: “Manny Diaz is the person charged with picking up the pieces and rebuilding the state party as the new party chairman. The 66-year-old says when he campaigned for the job, he didn’t know how bad things were, especially with the party’s finances. After the election, Florida’s Democratic Party was in debt and couldn’t pay its bills. Employees found out their health insurance had been canceled. Diaz says that was his first challenge.”

Said Diaz: “It was like survival. And I’m talking about the kind of survival where you’re involved in counting paperclips.”
