Hello everyone. The Saturday in-person meeting at Colony Cottage was a big success. It was our first in-person get-together since the pandemic. Everyone was excited to see each other and talk face to face. We had a great turnout,with more than 250 Democrats in the audience.

Nikki Fried, Florida's elected agricultural commissioner, earned a standing ovation after inspiring the crowd with her life story and plans to defeat Gov. Ron DeSantis in next year's election.

Watch the video of her remarks at the link below. Another video link takes you to the remainder of the meeting.

Thank you to everyone who attended and thank you to all the volunteers and board members who worked to make the event a success. We’ll see you all at the next meeting, Aug. 14.

Mike Faulk, president, Villages Democratic Club

Nikki Fried spoke passionately and Villages Democrats cheered wildly
