In June of 2021, Seminole County officially became blue by voter registration numbers according to the Seminole County Supervisor of Elections. In November 2020 Seminole County made history by going blue for the first time since 1948, and in June 2021 became the Majority Party in Seminole County! The news of this historic flip travelled fast and several news outlet quickly picked up on the story.
Watch the featured story on WESH 2 News. Although Seminole County went blue, Florida ultimately went red for Donald Trump. We were able to retain Congresswoman Stephanie Murphy to her seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, and we also retained Representative Joy Goff-Marcil to the Florida House. Longtime SemDems member Jennifer Webb was elected to the Seminole County Soil and Water Commission, and local Democratic activist Chad Albritton was elected to the Casselberry City Commission. Even with these wins, we took some very hard losses down ballot. Despite the win for Biden and the most-robust voter outreach plan the Seminole County Democratic Party has ever seen, we still clearly have plenty of work to do. We will continue to fight to get more Democrats elected in the coming election cycles, but we need your help to make that happen! CHANGES IN SEMINOLE
Back in 2018 Seminole County went blue for the first time for state-wide offices. We flipped 1 county school board seat blue, as well as House District 30, but we still fell just shy of flipping 2 of our 3 House Districts. Our outstanding efforts made a splash in both local and national news, including with the Washington Post, New York Times, NBC News, Florida Politics, and the Orlando Sentinel. We have learned a lot over these past couple years, and we have become an efficient “blue wave” machine.
