Val Demings

63 percent of Florida voters in 2018 voted in favor of Amendment 4 that would restore voting rights to convicted felons.

I do find it odd they were not clear, if you will, in this particular incident.

I was in a homeland security hearing with Director Wray a few weeks ago, and he did indicate that domestic terrorism, i.e. these right-wing extremist groups, are the biggest threat facing our nation right now.

The threats, intimidation, we have been used to it since the beginning of the Trump administration, presidency.

I believe voters here understand that everything that they care about is on the ballot, and they're going to stand in those lines and do what they need to do to cast their vote.

I believe that every person who is out there standing in those lines for hours waiting to vote, understand that we do not have even basic competence in the White House right now.

all of the enthusiasm from what I've seen, from what I've heard, and talking with voters is clearly in Biden's camp.

We're excited about this ticket. But we are taking nothing for granted.

We thank God for the majority, the fire wall that we have in the House of Representatives, and we're going to do what we need to do up to election day.

We strongly believe that keeping all this information classified will severely hinder our ability to combat foreign meddling and will potentially allow the United States government to repeat the same mistakes as 2016.

As I just indicated, we're dealing with a president of the United States that will lie, steal and cheat, invite foreign governments to interfere in the election.

Donald Trump has demonstrated that he has no compassion, no empathy. He doesn't even get the men and women of the military, those who would leave home to go to a foreign land to fight for something greater than themselves.

Well, today Vice President Biden really showed us exactly what being a commander in chief looks like, what it sounds like and what it's supposed to feel like.

I know that's what John Ratcliffe said. He talked about that he was afraid of leaks. We know that that's another made-up excuse.

We see what's happening with the United States Postal Service as we push vote by mail all over the nation, particularly in battleground states around the nation, in Florida.

The evidence confirms that if left in office, President Trump will continue to harm our America's national security. He will continue to seek to corrupt the upcoming election. And he will undermine, he will undermine our democracy all to…

Donald Trump has a laundry list of violations of the Constitution, the rule of law. He's trying to destroy our democracy and, quite frankly, I haven't heard any senator from Florida try to hold him accountable.

Law enforcement is routinely at the polling places because, as you know, we are hoping that it gets really crowded, the lines are so long and they help people get safely in and out of the polling places. That is their primary…

I cannot imagine the police chiefs and the sheriffs across this nation allowing the president of the United States in his desperate state to use law enforcement in any way to try to decide an election, try to intimidate voters.

I'm a Democrat from Florida, and I've had--heard complaints about my emails going into spam as well.

On June 12, 2016, a lone gunman walked into the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, and opened fire with a semiautomatic rifle. That night, the shooter killed 49 people and injured 53 others. At the time, it was the largest mass shooting…

This administration, unfortunately, is always looking for a villain to blame.

to hear my colleagues on the other side of the aisle focus more on defending the inactions of our President than on the 141,000-plus Americans who have lost their lives to COVID-19.

It is time to make the Pulse nightclub a national memorial, and the reason is that what Pulse symbolizes is relevant to all Americans. Let me say this: Orlando does not need Congress in order to honor the 49 victims, nor the 53 who were…

I joined the police department in 1984. Few words can describe the feeling that I had when I took my oath to protect and serve. I took it to heart. We all know the majority of police officers do the job well every day. But today is about…
