Debbie Mucarsel-Powell: 我2018年竞选国会议员的动机是为了改变，并为佛罗里达州的民众争取更好的生活。我与对手Rick Scott在政策理念上存在巨大差异，例如在医疗保险、经济承受能力、气候变化和生育选择权等问题上。Rick Scott在担任州长期间推行的政策导致佛罗里达州的保险费率飙升，加剧了民众的经济负担。他还否认气候变化的存在，这给佛罗里达州的沿海社区带来了巨大的破坏。此外，他支持堕胎禁令，严重限制了女性的生育选择权。我致力于保护社会保障和医疗保险，扩大医疗保险覆盖范围，投资老年人经济适用房，并降低商品和服务成本，以改善佛罗里达州民众的生活。我将努力让更多人了解我，争取赢得选举。即使当选后与Marco Rubio在一些问题上存在分歧，我仍然愿意与他合作，尤其是在国家安全等重要议题上。我呼吁佛罗里达州的选民警惕选民压制行为，并积极参与投票。 Bea Spear & Sammy Sage: 佛罗里达州一些原本支持共和党的选民，由于对现行政治现状的不满，正在转向支持民主党候选人。The Villages地区，传统上是共和党支持者聚集地，现在也开始出现支持民主党候选人的趋势，这表明政治格局正在发生变化。针对那些搬到佛罗里达州的年长选民，尤其是那些过去支持共和党的人，呼吁他们投票支持民主党候选人，以保护佛罗里达州的未来和年轻一代的利益。

Shownotes Transcript

Whether you call her The Latina Hammer, La Luchadora, or maybe just DMP: it's clear Debbie Mucarsel-Powell is making herself known in the Florida race for Senate against incumbent Rick Scott (who was involved in defrauding Medicare in 1997.) Mucarsel-Powell talks about the challenges that Floridians face, from high insurance rates to climate change, and how the normally Republican leaning Villages is showing up for the Harris-Walz campaign.
