Congressman Ted Deutch (D-FL, 22nd District)

Dear Friends!

In November, Americans will be participating in one of our country’s most cherished democratic traditions. As we enter election season, I encourage you all to make your voices heard, whether that be in-person, by mail, or by early voting. To check on your registration, ballot status, and voting locations, please visit your county’s Supervisor of Elections website at https://browardsoe.org.

You can help ensure every voice is heard in our democracy and protect the health and safety of our community by signing up to be an election poll worker. Because of COVID-19, we are already facing a critical shortage of these essential workers. Our local elections officials are working hard to establish safe voting protocols, train workers, and supply election sites with enough PPE to make voting in-person safer. But they need your help. Sign up to be a poll worker on November 3rd at https://powerthepolls.org.

“I welcome these announcements that Israel will normalize relations with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. The historic agreements will usher in a new era of regional cooperation and help provide greater stability in the Gulf, which is in the United States’ national security interest.”

I have long hoped to see the day that common ties between Israel and its regional neighbors would be able to advance, and I look forward to working to support these growing relationships. I am glad that these announcements include a commitment to finding a just, comprehensive, and enduring solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict. It is only a two-state solution resulting in a safe and secure Israel living side by side in peace with a viable Palestinian state that can ensure long-term peace and prosperity for both Israelis and Palestinians.

As always, please stay safe and reach out to my office if we can be of any assistance.
