"I'm so grateful for all of the people who helped us get to this point," said Chief Val Demings, "The support we have seen surrounding our campaign, from our dedicated volunteers to the community members we've met throughout Central Florida, has been overwhelming and we couldn't be more excited about the growing momentum as we push towards August 30th."
