Dear Friends of District 8,
In April, we sent a survey to the community to get a better picture of your struggles and concerns in the midst of this crisis. Three months later, I want to check back in to understand how the ongoing situation is impacting you and your family.
Please take our short survey here
.
The ongoing economic impact of this crisis is extremely troubling, with
74% of Florida families saying they are struggling in a new statewide report.
It's critical that we
strengthen our social safety programs, not impose barriers that make it harder for families to get the support they need. I stand with a
coalition of 50+ organizations calling on Governor DeSantis to continue waiving work requirements for food assistance programs and to extend recertifications for those enrolled.
There was also some good news this week:
I also want to extend a
special thank you to all those who participate in County government – those who speak at meetings and write in, those who serve on committees, and all who engage in our civic process. Your voices are essential to making sure our local government is working for the people we serve.
Yours in community,
Daniella
