Florida is a joke, but we can fix it this April Fool’s Day.
Hi, I’m Josh Weil, a progressive democrat. We’re a rarity in Florida, but I refuse to let that stop me. I’m a single father of two amazing kids, and I know firsthand how policies from Washington affect everyday people like me and my sons. They inspired me to join this race to push back against Donald Trump and his barbaric policies. Donald Trump recruited the former congressman to serve in his crazy cabinet, so now, there’s a special election between me and my MAGA-endorsed opponent, Randy Fine. On April 1, Florida will decide who will represent their sixth district.
Trump doesn’t care about working families like ours. He wants to dismantle the Department of Education, putting our kids in jeopardy for years to come. I’m a public school teacher, so I’ve had to see this unfold in real time. Every morning, I make our lunches, and I send my kids off, hoping that they’ll come home safely. But now, on top of the usual fears of bullying, bad grades, and homework, I have to worry about the education they receive, and if they’ll even come home at the end of the day. A Trump presidency will destroy our schools, loosen gun control, and put our children in danger.
My opponent is a MAGA suck-up. He hates reproductive freedom, and wants to force people to give birth, even if it will kill them. I’m running against a man who thinks potential life is more important than the lives of countless people who die from completely avoidable complications. Florida already has one of the strictest abortion bans in the country, and he’s looking to expand these horrible policies nationally. I don’t know about you, but I think that decisions should be made between a patient and their doctor, not by legislators who have never spent a day in medical school. They deserve better. America deserves better.
On top of these hot button issues, my opponent wants to destroy the Affordable Care Act, supports policy that will contribute to climate change, and recently threatened members of congress on Twitter.
When things look this bleak, it can be hard to keep fighting. The incoming Trump presidency was a blow unlike anything we’ve experienced as a country. But we can’t lay down and take it. Randy Fine is clearly unfit to be a member of congress, and I refuse to let my country fall apart. This is a battle worth fighting, but I need you. I am a single dad and a public school teacher, so I don’t have a crazy amount of money to dump into this race. Election day may be on April Fool’s Day on the first, but we can’t let this clown into office. Don’t be fooled; this race isn’t a joke. The chaos has to stop.
I don’t have major corporations or rich private donors. We need campaign contributions AS SOON AS POSSIBLE to get this movement off the ground. If you can give – $5, $10, even a single dollar – we’ll be able to knock more doors, call more folks, and spread the word before the election. Please, we have one last chance to flip a seat in congress. I need you. Support me here!!
Regardless of how you help out, thanks for getting to know me! You can follow me here for more updates, or find me on Facebook and Instagram or visit my website. Together, we can win this seat and get my GOP opponent out of office for good. Support me here and get out the vote on Tuesday, April 1. Let’s flip this seat!
Best Wishes,
Josh Weil
Candidate for FL-6
