In response to Governor Ron DeSantis’ latest coronavirus executive order, Florida Democratic Party Chair Terrie Rizzo released the following statement:
“Instead of delivering clear, science-based messages to the public during the pandemic, Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump have downplayed the coronavirus and let politics lead the way. Their failure to respond to this pandemic has been an unmitigated disaster for Florida and we simply cannot afford more mismanagement. DeSantis is once again restricting local governments from taking evidence-based measures to protect their communities. We all desperately want things to return back to normal, but that can’t happen when DeSantis and Trump have no plan to get us out of this public health crisis.”
