The Democratic Women's Club of Florida had its yearly convention in Orlando on Thursday, April 21, through Sunday, May 1, 2022.

U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist, Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried and State Sen. Annette Taddeo all spoke at the Democratic Women’s Club of Florida’s convention held at the Rosen Centre. The candidates focused on the best way to defeat DeSantis. Crist pledged that if he did not win, he would endorse either of the two wonderful candidates.
