On Thursday July 29, Progressive Democrats of America will consider Doug Tudor for national endorsement on their Inside the Democratic Party conference call. Tudor won the endorsement in 2008. Tudor, an ardent supporter of Medicare for All won the PDA-FL CD-12 Chapter endorsement on July 5, which made him eligible for the national endorsement.
Doug Tudor is a retired U.S. Navy Master Chief Petty Officer, which is an E9, the Navy’s senior enlisted rank. He retired from active duty on February 29, 2008. In his final six years of service, Doug served as the Flag Writer, or personal administrative assistant, for three Commanders, U.S. Central Command--General Tommy Franks, USA; General John Abizaid, USA; and Admiral William Fallon, USN. With these officers, Doug deployed to the combat zones of Iraq and Afghanistan over 30 times. While in the service, Doug earned a B.S. in Government and an Executive Juris Doctorate.
Doug is a principled, proven leader and is a true Progressive. He was the 2008 Democratic nominee for the U.S. House in Florida’s 12th Congressional District. Facing the House third-ranking Republican, Adam Putnam, Doug earned over 137,000 votes and garnered 42.5% of the vote. This made his campaign the second most effective in Florida for any challenger that didn’t take the seat. His campaign had the best dollar-to-vote ratio in Florida.
He is currently a candidate for that open seat in 2010. Doug resides in Riverview, Florida, with his wife, Paula, who is an active-duty U.S. Air Force Master Sergeant. They have three children–Hannah, Alec, and Elle.
