Two years ago, Leonard achieved a major victory for our party and our community by successfully flipping this crucial Central Florida seat. Since taking office, he has proven to be a dedicated public servant and a relentless advocate for Central Florida families. However, because of his success, the Republican establishment has made taking back District 45 a top priority. They are bringing their massive fundraising warchest to unseat Leonard, making it vital that we rally behind him to protect this seat and preserve democratic representation in Tallahassee.

community forward.
