A Little Stogie Fearmongering

Remember Ronda Storms
Tampa's PRIDE used to hold the distinction of the state's largest LGBT pride event. From 2005 to 2013, Hillsborough County enforced a ban on acknowledging, participating or promoting anything to do with gay pride events. The ban was spearheaded by then GOP County Commissioner Ronda Storms 


It wasn't repealed until we elected 
progressive democrat Kevin Beckner.
---
Do we want to go back to that?
Progressives have been making great progress with the addition of Kemp, Smith and Overman.
---
Now they have to it again!
Re-elect Pat Kemp and add Gwen Myers

Majority rules!

Hillsborough County Elects Tea Party Endorsed Candidate

Cindy Stuart, a disaster on our county school board has beaten Kevin Beckner, a past county commissioner with a stellar record. 
-------
She was endorsed by the Tampa Tea Party and local Citrus Taliban leader Terry Kimple.
---
She sent out negative mailers financed by shady money calling Beckner a “desperate career politician” who will “push a
 radical agenda.”. HERE

Hillsborough County has 
355,166 Democrats

93,181 of them showed up for Beckner.
Is this a preview of November?
What a shame!

Bernie: Our Movement is Winning

All across the country, up and down the ballot, progressive candidates are standing up for working people, fighting back against their establishment-backed opponents, and winning their primaries.
We saw it just this week with Cori Bush's remarkable victory in Missouri, and Rashida Tlaib's landslide win defending her seat 
in Michigan.
We've seen it in New York and Washington, with congressional candidates like Jamaal Bowman and Pramila Jayapal. With district attorneys and prosecutor races, too, like Amy Padden in Colorado and Eli Savit in Michigan.
These victories are happening nationwide because our movement has stood together. And now, more progressives across the country with primaries happening very soon are counting on us to stand with them.

Making calls for these progressive candidates is the most impactful thing you can do to help during the final stretch of their primaries. HERE

Kevin Beckner Before It Was Popular

For the role of Hillsborough Clerk of Court, I fully endorse Kevin Beckner. Kevin was a trailblazer of human rights long before it was popular, serving as an openly gay county commissioner in Hillsborough, he pushed for LGBTQ rights to be part of the County's protected classes long ago. I am most interested in Kevin's priorities (priorities are noticably absent on other clerk 
candidates websites):
Equal Access to the Justice System

In partnership with the Hillsborough County Bar Association, I will establish a Self-Help Center to provide high-quality legal assistance at an affordable price. Income should not be a barrier to receiving equal access to the justice system.
I will also expand offices and community outreach in underserved and minority neighborhoods.
Fairer Justice System

The Clerk of the Court is responsible for issuing summons to appear for jury duty.

The Sixth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees an individual the right to a trial by an impartial jury. That requires the services of a large number of qualified and diverse jurists.
Did you know the Clerk determines jury calls? I hadn't either.
While we have way further to go to an equitable (or an actual...) justice system, and it's not going to be solved within the Clerk office, it is important the right attitude is within the Clerk's office.

Kevin Beckner and Wage Theft

When employers withhold earned pay, overtime or tips that is called ‘wage theft’ and it's a blatant abuse of workers' rights. When I came into office as Commissioner, Hillsborough ranked 2nd in the state in documented cases of wage theft and I helped pass an ordinance that assists victims in the recovery of lost income. I believe the duty of every public official is to represent taxpayers and their hard-earned tax dollars, and I will employ these principles to the Clerk’s office to foster a stronger and more inclusive county.

Kevin Beckner for Tampa

"We have to elect leaders that responsibly use tax-payer dollars to serve our neighbors effectively and efficiently. As our next clerk of the circuit court, I will use my 17 years as a certified financial planner and 8 years as a county commissioner balancing a $4 billion dollar budget to ensure the office takes steps to rein in spending while still providing the services our county deserves." Kevin Beckner
