Congressman Meek fired up a crowd of over 150 supporters at a reception in his honor at the IBEW Hall in downtown Jacksonville Sunday, August 20, 2010. Duval County DEC chair, Travis Brides, introduced him as the "next US Senator from Florida"...it drew loud applause from the crowd.
The Party nominee for US Senate reiterated his platform positions and urged everyone present to redouble their efforts to get out the vote in November. He reiterated and reconfirmed his long standing commitment to all the people of Florida...regardless to color, gender, religion, economic status, veterans, women etc. He ended his time in Jacksonville placing hand-signed, bumper stickers to the autos of those assembled at the reception.
Recent polls show Meek holds a slight lead over rival Charlie Crist, current Governor of Florida. Check out a recent news story in Newsweek for more details on Meek's win and the Fall race.
