The Florida Democratic Party prepares to flip Florida Blue with a new round of hires and promotions. Brittney Geathers has been promoted director of African American outreach, and previously served as FDP community engagement director.
Appointing Geathers is part of the Florida Democratic Party's larger strategy to engage Black communities in voter registration and campaign volunteerism. In this capacity, Geathers will focus on outreach and voter education, along with connecting with state and local elected officials, business leaders, faith-based community and key leaders from counties across Florida.
“African Americans are a vital and valued voting demographic of the Democratic party,” said Geathers. “I’m excited our state party has put unprecedented focus, effort, and resources to reach out to African Americans across the state. I look forward to building coalitions of people and hosting events that engage our community.”
