Tallahassee to actually roll back freedoms. This was a priority for them. Whether it was the voter suppression bill that they passed or the anti-protest bill that they passed,\u201d said Jose Parra, Senior Communications Adviser with the Florida Democratic Party.<\/p>\n<p>Neither Republicans or Democrats can target specific seats yet, because all the boundaries will change when lawmakers draw new maps early next year.<\/p>\n<p>Parra said Democrats will be watching the redistricting process with the ‘eyes of a hawk’.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need defined concrete districts that represent the people of Florida.
