Laurel Lee has made life harder for Floridians in the 15th congressional district. From her time as Florida’s Secretary of State to her two terms as a Congresswoman, she has fought to restrict Floridians’ rights and served as nothing but a rubber stamp for national Republicans’ catastrophic agenda.

She supported a 15-week abortion ban without exceptions for rape or incest and the overturning of Roe v. Wade, which led to Florida’s now near-total abortion ban. As the Florida Secretary of State, she fought to make it harder for Floridians to vote in elections and defended a Congressional redistricting plan that voting rights groups argued diminished Black Floridians’ electoral voice.
