Incumbent Republican Senator Marco Rubio is running for re-election to represent Florida in the United States Senate. While Florida has leaned to the right in recent years, challenger Val Demings has already outraised Rubio, indicating a wave of enthusiasm among Florida voters to get Rubio off of Capitol Hill. If you share that same viewpoint, donate to Kids Go Blue to help us flip Florida.

In a particularly egregious violation of the Voting Rights Act, Republicans eliminated the fifth congressional district in northern Florida - one that was designed to increase the political power of black voters in the area - and drew incumbent Al Lawson into the ruby-red second district. Lawson has elected to run again, but he'll have a tough time facing Republican incumbent Neil Dunn. Even getting 45% of the vote, however, will be a huge boost to our chances of taking back Florida's Senate seat. Kids Go Blue is our best chance to win this district and make Florida blue.

After Republicans made Stephanie Murphy's district redder during redistricting, she decided to step down. This makes the task of defending this suburban Orlando district much tougher. It's doable, but Kids Go Blue will need your help!

Republicans gerrymandered this Tampa-area district, currently held by Charlie Crist to a much redder district during the 2020 redistricting cycle. Crist is running for governor, meaning that defending this district will be tough. However, it is not unheard of, and if anyone can pull it off, Kids Go Blue can.

Most of the Democrat's losses in Florida have come from Hispanic voters in the south of the state, such as this district represented by Maria Elvira Salazar. This district voted for Hillary Clinton by 19 percentage points in 2016, was flipped blue in 2018, and then was flipped again in 2020, despite Joe Biden winning it by only 3 points. 2022 is a good opportunity for Democrats to erase these losses and start fresh, and a good place to start is here. Donate to Kids Go Blue to make it happen.

Carlos Gimenez flipped this district red in 2020, after Democrats did the same in 2018. At Kids Go Blue, we are looking to continue the cycle and help Democrats hold on to their narrow House majorities.
