ORLANDO, Fla. (August 12, 2020) – The Daisy Morales campaign has released the following statement from Daisy Morales, candidate for Florida House District 48, on former Vice President Joe Biden selecting Senator Kamala Harris:

“Congratulations to Senator Kamala Harris for being named as former Vice President Joe Biden’s pick for VP. This historic moment shattered the glass ceiling and even a few walls. Not only is Senator Harris one of only a handful of women to ever be at the top of a major party nominee ticket, but she’s the first African American, Caribbean American (Jamaican heritage) and South Asian American (Indian heritage) to ever do it. Senator Harris’s sharp, relentless pursuit of the truth and accountability inspired Biden, her former opponent, to pick her.

“Biden committed to choosing a woman as his running mate, and it only makes sense he chose Senator Harris. She embodies the poise, confidence, experience, passion and heart for service that we as women carry and share with the world every single day.

“The response surrounding Senator Harris’s pick is also a powerful lesson on how important it is for women to support each other. Senator Amy Clobuchar, former National Security Advisor Susan Rice, our Florida Congresswoman Val Demings, and many other women in key leadership roles across the country have rallied around Senator Harris in this historic moment, raising their voices in solidarity with hers to inspire all of us as Americans to make ours heard at the ballot box. Women are an unstoppable force for positive change when we rally together, and there’s no better time than now for us to make change. This is not the time for petty competition or silent blocking or sabotage, but to unify like never before.

“I look forward to helping the Biden-Harris campaign to win the Puerto Rican vote in Florida.”
