Alex Sink Rallies House Democrats

Two weeks after losing the gubernatorial election to Republican Rick Scott, state CFO Alex Sink, the Democrat in the race, received a standing ovation from the House Democratic caucus and pledged she was not leaving the public stage.

We all voted for you here, said Rep. Jim Waldman of Coconut Creek.

Its a very challenging time in our state, said Sink who told the House Democrats that they would represent the 2.5 million voters who backed her. We need to hold people accountable every single day.

I was so proud to stand up and call myself a Democrat, insisted Sink, who added that she was not going to bow out despite losing to Scott. My voice is not going to be silent going forward.
