Matt Gaetz Chronicles: Ethics

The House Committee on Ethics announced in a report released Friday it had voted unanimously to admonish U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, Republican of Florida, over a tweet he sent which some saw as an attempt to intimidate a witness ahead of his testimony before Congress.

Miami Hero Sherina Jones

Sherina Jones looks forward to opening her refrigerator and finding it empty.
That means someone in Wynwood has found the fridge full of free food she plugged in outside her friend’s print shop and 
won’t go hungry.
“I feel fulfilled every day I come here and see that it’s empty,” she said. “It puts a smile on my face to see everything is gone.”
Jones, a Carol City native, has taken on the vast problem of food insecurity in South Florida in a direct, targeted and grassroots way: She set up a community refrigerator.

Dems Stop Celebrating Pro-War Republicans and Ignoring Progressives

Rep. Ro Khanna: His party should be doing more to highlight its own rising progressive stars and less to celebrate conservatives who “got us into wars.”
---
“All of this star power in the new generation — [Democrats should] showcase them, because they can connect so effortlessly with young progressives [and] with communities of color [and] help get that turnout,” says Khanna, a progressive congressman from Silicon Valley who co-chaired Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’s 2020 presidential campaign.  “I don't think we have fully deployed all of 
our talent yet.” HERE

Florida Berner Victories

Our members mobilized to help 
Monique Worrell win a tight race against death penalty proponents and candidates backed by corporate law firms for Orange-Osceola County State Attorney. Endorsed by Bernie Sanders, her win is a part of our national strategy to elect progressive prosecutors and transform our broken criminal justice system. 

Our members also propelled Eliseo Santana, who ran on a platform of reallocating law enforcement funds to community services, to victory in the Democratic primary for Pinellas County Sheriff. Santana will face off against a pro-Trump, Rick Scott appointed incumbent in November’s election, and he needs our continued support.

We also helped political newcomer 
Jack Porter unseat the sitting establishment City Commissioner in a tough race. Alongside our members, Porter is ready to take on Tallahassee’s special interest machine to fight corruption in city hall.

Chad Albritton is headed for a run off in November for Casselberry City Commissioner Seat #4 thanks to our GOTV efforts. Chad ran on a platform to implement the Green New Deal in his community because change always comes from the bottom-up!
