Dolphin Democrats
Politics in the LGBTQ+ Community
The Dolphin Dems are excited to support Nikki Fried on her campaign to become the next Governor of Florida.
Commissioner Fried has been a strong ally to the LGBTQ+ community and while serving as Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services she has implemented policies that have benefited members of our community in her department at the statewide level.
We are looking forward to continue to support her work towards a more inclusive and tolerant Florida. #somethingnew
On Wednesday, February 10, 2021 the members of The Dolphin Democrats Elected Alfredo Olvera as President and Nik Harris as Vice-President for a second term expiring in 2023. At the same meeting the members also elected Tina Jaramillo to Secretary, Hillary Dougherty to Treasurer. In addition Emma Collum, Grecia Rivas-Smith, Lorenzo Robertson, Adam Sabin, Vanessa Villaverde, Nick Zantop and Jose Cedeno were elected as Directors.
We are all excited to see the board continuing their political work on behalf of LGBTQ+ Democrats in Broward County. Congratulations to all.
Dear Members
This Thanksgiving, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the year and express gratitude for each of you. 2020 has certainly challenged us in ways we didn’t think possible last year. But, your resilience during the Covid-19 crisis, your responsibility for health and safety, and your dedication to our organization continue to inspire me.
Your determination has allowed us to accomplish so much despite the difficulties and uncertainty we faced. You attended meetings, helped with voter registration, phone banked, and more. Thank you so much for being part of the Dolphin Democrats family.
Your dedication to the work and to democracy allowed us to endorse, support, and elect so many pro-equality candidates. It was because of you that we had a strong presence at early voting locations. It was because of you that our organization grew more than ever.
I am honored to serve as your president. And, I’m grateful for all the energy you continue to bring to this organization and for your commitment to building justice and equity in Broward County.
Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving.
Thank you,
Alfredo Olvera – President

The Dolphin Democrats Board of Directors is excited to announce and present the organization’s updated logo.
We wish that when any LGBTQ+ person whether they are a Democrats or just part of the community at-large sees this logo, they feel represented and hopefully get encouraged to join us in the fight for equality and continue the legacy of those before us.
We would like to thank the talented Landon St. Gordon for designing the log and Mike Worley at MDWCOMM ( https://mdwcommunications.com/) for their contribution to our organization. We will be forever grateful.
At a June 3rd meeting, the members of the Florida LGBTQ+ Democratic Caucus endorsed Joe Biden for President. As an affiliate chapter of the State Caucus, the Dolphin Democrats also endorse Joe Biden for President.
As of today, Former Vice President Joe Biden has surpassed the 1991 delegates to claim the nomination on the first ballot of the Democratic Convention.
It is time to do the work and send much needed new leadership to “1600 Black Lives Matter Plaza”
