Bernie Sanders backs Josh Weil in CD 6


Will voters in former U.S. Rep. Mike Waltz’s district “feel the Bern?”

That’s the hope of Democrat Josh Weil, who has earned the endorsement of the Vermont Senator and former presidential candidate.

“Josh Weil is a working class father of two and a middle school teacher who knows what it’s like to live paycheck to paycheck. Unlike his opponent, he does not have any billionaire-backed Super PACs supporting him. Josh would be a voice in Congress who understands why we must protect Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid and not give massive tax breaks to billionaires,” Sanders said Friday.

Sanders added that Weil “understands that we have to keep our promise to veterans, wants to expand the trade union movement and believes that all kids deserve a quality education.”

Weil, a teacher, has surprised most observers by running a spirited campaign against state Sen. Randy Fine in Florida’s 6th Congressional District, who polling says holds a margin of error lead over the Democratic candidate.

He’s raised more than $10 million, and will enjoy support from DNC Chair Ken Martin this weekend.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump held a “tele-townhall” with Fine, Elon Musk put at least $10,000 into a text message campaign him, and even Ron DeSantis has dispatched political help.
