WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the New Democrat Coalition Action Fund announced the addition of Florida State Senator Annette Taddeo (FL-27) and Alan Cohn (FL-15) to its “Candidate Watch List.” Florida’s 27th Congressional District is currently represented by Republican Rep. María Salazar and Florida’s 15th Congressional District is a newly drawn seat.
“Annette and Alan have the spirit, determination, and experience to compete in what will be closely watched races this fall,” said NewDem Action Fund Chair Brad Schneider. “NewDems have always been focused on breaking through the gridlock to get things done for the American people, and Annette and Alan share this approach to politics.”
NewDem Action Fund’s “Candidate Watch List” represents early-stage support for candidates running for Congress.
“I’m very proud to have the support of the New Dem Action Fund in this important fight to flip Florida’s 27th Congressional District,” said Sen. Annette Taddeo (FL-27). “In Congress, the New Dem Coalition is known for their pragmatism and ability to put politics aside to deliver for their community. My record in the Florida Senate shows the same, I’ve always been willing to work with anyone, regardless of their party affiliation, to benefit my constituents and in Congress I will always put the people first.”
“I am so honored to be named to the New Democrat Action Fund’s watch list," said Alan Cohn (FL-15). "With so many Americans desperate for leaders who find common ground to solve our most complex issues, I am looking forward to working with the NewDems to find these critical solutions. My campaign is focused on solving real problems and that means working together with Members of Congress who put progress before partisanship and tackle real problems facing everyday Americans. Issues like lowering the cost of prescription drugs, making smart investments in our public schools, and making common sense investments in infrastructure. I am grateful to be added to the NewDem watch list."
