Florida Democratic Party Chairman Manny Diaz tendered his resignation Monday and delivered a blistering review of the party.
Diaz outlined a number of plights dogging the party, such as financing woes, a dismal messaging strategy, and considerable coordination troubles. He declared that the party apparatus had been"rendered practically irrelevant to the election of Democrats" during the midterm election.“During my tenure, I hoped to address these issues,” Diaz wrote in a resignation letter, per the Tampa Bay Times.
Democrats were defeated in every statewide election — the first time the party suffered such a blow in Florida since the 1800s. Republicans have also eclipsed Democrats in voter registration for the first time in history. “Maybe it is not always about trying to fix something that is broken. Maybe it is about starting over and creating something better,” he wrote. “I wish my successor Godspeed.”"I like Manny. But you can’t lose by 19 points and get to stay to talk about it," newly elected Rep. Jared Moskowitz tweeted.
