Commissar SFLUFAN Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 It's always a source of amusement for me that Jacksonville, FL (population < 1,000,00) is technically the largest metropolitan area in the US by area. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I interviewed Nikki Fried, and she said Democrats need to work in Florida on knowing their state leader is on the ground with them (she was arrested at an abortion rights demonstration), they need to work on fielding candidates throughout the state to help increase enthusiasm and voter participation in all corners and she said "all eyes are on Jacksonville" back in I wanna say late March when I spoke to her.
