Democrat Val Demings Embraces Police ‘Chief Demings’ Title in Campaign After Distancing from It in 2020Ashley Oliver 18 Feb 2022
Rep. Val Demings (D-FL) is drawing on her days as a police chief and branding herself as “Chief” in campaign messages and ads as she runs for U.S. Senate in Florida, but the congresswoman appears to have only recently revived that moniker after distancing herself from it in 2020.
Spokespeople from Demings’ campaign staff, signage, and videos make use of the “chief” title in 2022, a noticeable shift back toward pre-2020 days when Demings wholly embraced the title in official logos during her previous congressional campaigns.
“We are so grateful for every supporter who has stepped up to beat career politician Marco Rubio and send Chief Demings to the United States Senate,” Demings’ campaign manager, Zack Carroll, said in a Florida Politics report from January 31, 2022. [Emphasis added]
“This is a desperate and pathetic attack from Marco Rubio who has failed to step up to protect Floridians, so it’s no surprise he is lying about Chief Demings,” Demings’ communications director, Christian Slater, said in a Floridian report from February 2, 2022. [Emphasis added]
“Chief Demings worked with Democrats and Republicans to deliver for Florida …” Carroll said in a Florida Politics report from February 3, 2022. [Emphasis added]
Demings introduced a “Ride with the Chief” campaign tour last month, and she and her staff have since been promoting it.
