Dear Governor Desantis:

Why do you want to kill me? Why do you want me to die? I haven’t done anything to cause you physical, mental or spiritual harm or to give you any other reason to wish me dead.

Though a Democrat now, I used to be a Republican. Is this the reason? Because I switched parties?

Even though I did not vote for you in November 2018, I thought you had been doing an okay-job for someone with so little experience. Is that the reason? Because I didn’t vote for you?

I’m an 84 year-old White woman. Could any of these be the reason? Because I’m 84? Because I’m White? Because I’m a woman?

I want what’s best for Florida, but have lost confidence in your leadership . . . or the leadership of the crazy person in the White House.

Please turn over management of our State’s pandemic affairs to someone who has the skills and understanding you clearly lack.

Please give us cause to hope that we might see the coronavirus infection rate decline so we can be safe again!

Sincerely,

Dorothy H Wilken

Former Councilmember and Mayor of Boca Raton;

Former Palm Beach County Commissioner;

Former Clerk/Comptroller of the 15th Judicial Circuit
