Members of the US House of Representatives and US Senate, having been elected in the November 3, 2020 elections, will be sworn in to office on Sunday, January 3, 2021 at noon.

The two US Senate runoff elections in Georgia will be held on January 5th, 2021.

The first seat is the regularly-scheduled election for the seat held by incumbent Republican David Perdue. He is being challenged by Democrat Jon Ossoff.

The second seat is a special election to fill the remaining term of Senator Johnny Isakson (R), who stepped down in mid-2019 citing health concerns. The runoff is between appointed interim-Senator Kelly Loeffler (R) and Reverend Raphael Warnock (D).

Democrats will need to win both Georgia seats to bring control of the US Senate to 50-50.

Here in Florida, Feeding America reports that one in eight people, an estimated 2,768,480 Floridians, are struggling with hunger and one in five children is hungry. This is unacceptable, and while Ron DeSantis and the GOP led legislature continue to fail us, we are asking you to join us to help people in need. 

In support of PIC’s National Day of Service, on Monday, January 18, 2021, the Florida Democratic Party is collaborating with organizations throughout the State, to support local food banks.   We would like to have at least 100 individual events, County Parties, Caucuses and Clubs step up and organize their friends, members and family to collect nonperishable food and deliver food collected to a local food bank.   

FDP will provide everyone with a list of food banks in each county where the donation can be received.  To agree to collect food and donate it to a food bank on January 18, 2021, please sign up here.  

To help volunteers recruit other volunteers and to support the volunteer’s collection efforts, FDP created a Social Media Toolkit.  Included in the Social Media Toolkit, are the hashtags to publicize the food drive.  To access the Social Media Toolkit, click here.  

A financial gift of any size may be made to Feeding Florida, the State’s network of food banks working to solve hunger.   To donate to Feeding Florida, click here.
