""But I do believe that there is a really significant opportunity here for Democrats to take back the state of Florida - as long as we have a candidate who can relate to everyday people who keeps it focused on the most important pressing issues that affect people every single day in their lives like affordability and public education, and access to true freedoms across the state," Jenkins said."
""Florida families are getting crushed by skyrocketing costs. I mean, whether it's property insurance or rent or groceries or utilities, we need to make sure that we have somebody who's running to change that," she said. "All across this country, but especially here in the state of Florida, we're facing an affordability crisis, and I feel like we have representatives that aren't doing anything. They don't even know what it feels like, and I do.""
Jennifer Jenkins launched a U.S. Senate campaign in Florida to challenge appointed Sen. Ashley Moody, while criticizing Gov. Ron DeSantis and President Donald Trump. Jenkins centers her campaign on an affordability crisis affecting property insurance, rent, groceries and utilities, and prioritizes public education and individual freedoms. Jenkins notes personal experience as a speech pathologist who took grocery delivery driving work to make ends meet, positioning herself as relatable to everyday Floridians. Jenkins acknowledges a difficult path for Democrats in a state moving rightward and with a long losing streak in statewide races, but argues there is opportunity if candidates connect with voters on pressing issues.
