Rep. Val Demings (D-FL) has officially entered the race for the U.S. Senate in 2022. The Congresswoman is seeking to become the first Black person and only the second woman to represent Florida as a Senator.
“When you grow up in the South poor, Black and female, you have to have faith in progress and opportunity. My father was a janitor and my mother was a maid she said: ‘never tire of doing good, never tire,” said Demings in her announcement. “I’ve never tired of representing Florida, not for one single moment. I’ve never tired of standing up for what I believe is right. Now I’m running for the United States Senate because of two simple words: never tire.”
“I understand the significance I hold in this position and I am excited to show that I am the chief of police. I want every citizen in James City County to feel safe to live and work here. I think it’s so important and I won’t take for granted the opportunity.”
