In an effort to do my part to turn my great state back from the “Flori-duh” that it’s become over the last few years, back to the beautiful, sunny state of FLORIDA, I decided to jump into the political pool head first and run for the Florida State House of Representatives in District 68, which encompasses a large portion of the I-4 corridor.
Our state went for Obama twice back in the day, but once trump (not capitalized intentionally), entered the picture, things changed. Political races went from blue to red in not only the presidential, but other state and local races as well. Unfortunately we’ve been stuck with Governor DeSatan for the last several years, and hopefully we’ll be able to make it through his second term without getting all of our rights stripped away. He’s already tried to take away a good portion of them. Thanks to him, Flori-duh now has a 6 week abortion ban, one of the most strictest in the nation. If he could, he would take us back to the early 1900’s. With all of the current problems our state faces, such as rising and unaffordable property taxes and homeowner’s insurance rates, he’s instead focusing his energy on targeting Starbucks for their diversity in hiring practices. (Yes, that’s an issue that’s been keeping me awake at night). Oh, and don’t forget- he’s battling Mickey Mouse and Disney, one of our state’s biggest corporations and money makers. (Just because they spoke out against his harmful and hateful “Don’t Say Gay” bill). It’s obvious this guy doesn’t care about his constituents, the Florida residents; he just cares about himself, his cronies and his hateful agenda.
I’m tired of sitting back and watching Repugs like him destroy our fine state. It’s time for the rest of us to rise up and reclaim Florida back! I have high hopes for a strong Democratic turnout this November at the ballot box, because two very popular and controversial amendments will be on our state ballot- the abortion issue and the legalization of recreational marijuana issue. I really feel like people have had enough and they will be storming the ballot box in Nov. Hopefully the Dems that come out will vote down party lines all the way down the ballot. That’s where they’ll find my name- the only Dem in our District State House race running against the trump-loving Repug incumbent. I just couldn’t sit back and let him run unopposed so he walked away with a victory without even having to work for it. With the support of my fellow Dems, I can flip this red district blue, and as a result, get someone in office who actually cares about the will of the people. It’s time to kick the Repugs to the curb!
You don’t have to live in my district (or even my state) to lend support to this worthwhile cause….
If my words resonate with you and you’d like to know more about/support me and my mission, I could use all hands on deck, as I have a few short weeks left to raise the necessary filing fee….
