Andrew Gillum Has Been Assimilated

He was at USF with Terrie Rizzo,  Ione Townsend, State Sen. Darryl Rouson and State Rep. Fentrice Driskell.  He gave $100,000 to the Florida Democratic Party. HERE

Elvis Piggott Slams Hillsborough DEC

Hillsborough Dems Call For Repeal Of Stand Your Ground

Bob Buckhorn Beware Of Rick Scott Bearing Gifts

In recent weeks, Scott has sent a flurry of political presents Tampa’s way — revealing a private company’s interest in a high-speed rail link between Tampa and Orlando, allocating $2.7 million for the city’s fledgling street car system, and pushing personally to place an Ybor City census tract on the state’s list for a federal tax break that may help pay for a new Tampa Bay Rays ballpark.

-----

Plenty of Democrats are skeptical of Scott’s motives, including Hillsborough County Democratic Party chairwoman Ione Townsend. 

-----

They see Scott’s largesse as a maneuver to cut the vote margins in November in a key Democratic stronghold. Scott is challenging Sen. Bill Nelson for his seat.

-----

"That’s probably the game plan, Hillary Clinton took Hillsborough by 41,000 votes. For a Republican to be making some political investments in our county? I’m sure it’s viewed by them as ‘we’ll reap some rewards down the road." Ione Townsend

Ione Townsend A Graham Fan?

“Certainly, some number of our troops really want someone with more progressive leanings. There are progressive purists who are not tolerant of some of her votes and taking the district that she represented into account.”

Where some people see a relatable PTA mom promising to shake up the status quo in Tallahassee, others see yet another centrist establishment politician.

The Hypocrisy Of The Hillsborough County Democratic Party

The Islamic Society of Tampa Bay was kind enough to host a debate.

-----

 Republican Lawrence McClure, Democrat Jose Vazquez, Libertarian Bryan Zemina and non-party-affiliated Ahmad Saadaldin  are running in the election Dec. 19 to select a successor to Dan Raulerson, who stepped down from the seat in August due to health problems.

-----

The letter above was sent to the League of Women Voters for their audacity of hosting the debate at a mosque.

-----

The writer?  CL Townsend, husband of the DEC Chair Ione Townsend and Jose Vazquez's campaign treasurer.

"The more my community gets involved, the more pushback we get. In. every. freaking. way. Then Democrats come kissing ass for money and votes and asking people to run as D's. And you wonder why some wont? The entire party leadership right now should be ashamed."

Where is the noise when these things are held at Right Wing Bell Shoals?

Ione Townsend's New Book

We hear that the Hillsborough County Democratic Party Chair  Ione Townsend is writing a new book entitled

"Destroying Your Local Party in the Course of 30 Minutes: A How to Guide Based on Deceit, Disenfranchisement and Being the Patsy to a Nasty, Bitter Malcontent with a Personal Axe to Grind"

Local Dem. Bryan Farris is thinking of writing a companion piece entitled,

"I'm Outta Here: One Man's Story of Being Tired of Trying to Help an Organization that Refuses to Help Themselves."

Hillsborough County Dems New Leader Ione Townsend

The Hillsborough County Democratic Party has been known for a long time to take a backseat to the Hillsborough Republican Party regarding fundraising and getting people elected, something that Townsend vowed to attempt to end on her watch. here

----------

Elizabeth Belcher announced in November that she would be stepping down. 

She said “It is outrageous that false allegations, accusations and false claims floating around here in the DEC. We are destroying 

ourselves from the inside.”
