Democratic Women's Clubs of Florida Annual Convention

This past weekend, Kimberly Whiting attended the Democratic Women's Clubs of Florida's annual convention in Deerfield Beach. "I was honored to be given the opportunity to speak at the opening ceremonies."

The running theme of the event was simple: If we want a seat at the policy table, we have to win at the politics. This resonated with Kimberly, who said, "We want to improve the lives of our friends and neighbors; but in order to enact meaningful change, we must first win elections. Asking people for money is unpleasant; but if it means that I can be a voice of reason in Tallahassee, where life and death decisions are being made, what kind of person would I be if I refused? "

10th Anniversary of September 11, 2001

Like many Americans, I will never forget the events of September 11, 2001. But today, I can't help but focus on the men and women who would do it all again for us today- our first responders, our heroes.

To all those who put their lives on the line every day- I thank you.

To the families who send their spouses and parents out into the fray every day- I thank you.

We may never forget the horrors of that day, but I hope that we will also remember the stories of triumph, self-sacrifice, and love.

Labor Day Picnics

Wishing you a very happy Labor Day!

This past holiday weekend, Kimberly Whiting joined hardworking Floridians at multiple events across Central Florida. "I am proud to stand with the working people of Florida. They are the backbone of our society."

Today we celebrate all that you do for the country.

National Organization for Women Convention

This past weekend, Kimberly Whiting attended the National Organization for Women's annual convention in Tampa.

At the conference, attendants learned that after thirty years of continual improvement, the number of female elected officials is now in decline.

Women make up the majority of the population here in Brevard, yet Brevard County doesn't have a single woman elected at the State or Federal level. (Indian River county representative Debbie Mayfield's district does encroach into Brevard county, however that will be eliminated by redistricting.) Statewide, women make up the majority of the population, but only 24% of the legislature.

At the current rate, it would take eighty years to attain equal representation.

The National Organization for Women supports gender equality and issue advocacy for programs such as Medicare and Social Security that disproportionately affect women.
