This week, Stogie TV caught up with Elvis Piggott, candidate for County Commission District 5, to get his response on a recent lawsuit filed against him. The 30 year-old pastor says that the lawsuit is no more than a hit job from his opponent, Mark Nash. Piggott stated that he intends to concentrate on his campaign and not get involved in petty politics.
Its heirs and past and present leaders are bankrolling the campaign of Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam at unprecedented levels.
-----
Putnam is a vocal supporter of Trump’s vitriolic anti-immigrant policies, and while he served in Congress before Trump existed, he cast anti-minority votes.
-----
His voting record clearly shows he’s all about suppressing the vote of minorities who are U.S. citizens.
-----
Campaign contributions to a build-the-wall kind of guy — to the tune of $670,000 over the last three years — is a slap in the face to the Hispanic customers Publix has successfully courted with family-oriented advertising in Spanish and minority hiring, and by integrating ethnic products into the offerings.

These guys, The Hillsborough County City County Planning Commission approved a proposal to fill in 3 acres of open water north of Rocky Point Drive, near the eastern end of the Courtney Campbell Causeway. A Albany, N.Y., developer wants to build 16 townhomes there.
"The decision to change the future use of an underwater parcel located in a high-hazard area simply boggles the mind. Clearly, the Planning Commission isn’t taking the threat of sea-level rise seriously. That area is plagued by serious flooding now." Kent Bailey, chairman of the Sierra Club’s Tampa Bay Group.
The Tampa City Council will consider the Planning Commission’s recommendation when it makes a decision on the project. Speaking at the Monday meeting, a Tampa representative said the city’s own planning staff objects to the proposal for eliminating open space, damaging the park and bringing more residents to a high-hazard flood zone.
Senators voted 52 to 47, mostly along party lines, to stop the Federal Communications Commission from repealing the rules that were put in place three years ago under former President Barack Obama. The repeal is scheduled to take effect on June 11. Three Republicans – Susan Collins of Maine, John Kennedy of Louisiana and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska – joined all 49 Democrats in voting to keep the regulations in place.here
First-time candidate Elvis Piggott is finding out just how
nasty politics can be. The 30 year-old pastor from Hillsborough County has been
in the crosshairs of the political blogosphere multiple times this cycle. Most
recently, reports surfaced of a lawsuit filed against the millennial pastor for
misrepresenting himself as the booking agent for gospel recording artist Vickie
Winans.
With the Democratic primary just over three months away,
Piggott has a lot of damage control to do if he plans on winning the party’s nomination
for Hagan’s coveted District 5 seat. For now, the pastor is not worried about
the civil proceedings being brought against him, but is rather focusing on the
court of public opinion. Piggott says, “These allegations are 100 percent false
and erroneous, and this is a political hit job.” Piggott believes this particular
hit job was orchestrated by his opponent Mark Nash and it has no legitimacy.
The pastor couldn’t go in depth regarding specifics of the lawsuit since it is ongoing,
but he says that his innocence will be proven in the coming weeks.
While Piggott may be trying to be avoid “dirty politics,” it’s
clear that a fight may be necessary albeit not desired. “Our campaign is
focused on our message and our platform. That’s what the people want to hear. The
people are tired of dirty politics as usual and don’t want to see two grown men
fighting.” Despite whether or not the public is tired of politics as usual,
Piggott’s reaction in the coming days will determine where this fight may be
headed.
