The End Of Establishment Democrats?

At least 6 progressive insurgents managed to out-raise their establishment Democratic opponents in House races in the final quarter of 2017, a stunning development that threatens to upend the way the party goes about selecting candidates. here

-----

The fundraising upsets reflect a burst of progressive energy. But, not so fast. The establishment Dems are not giving up their power so easily.  Grassroots Progressive candidates who signed Up to battle Trump must get past the Democratic Party first. here

-----

They will keep nominating unelectable candidates and the cycle of loosing will continue.

The Florida Public Education Trainwreck Bill

Purposely tucked in to a huge education bill with a handful of good proposals, HB 7055 has a number of highly destructive measures. HB 7055 includes a partisan attack on Florida's teachers and their union and an expansion of private school vouchers.

-----

Call your Florida state legislators today and tell them to oppose HB 7055: a shameless bill designed to weaken our local public schools. here

Ed Turanchik For Mayor Of Tampa

Ed Turanchik is in the race for Tampa mayor. here

-----

"Tampa politics have been trending towards pragmatic, passionate, and sincere leaders. Men and women who can respond to our immediate needs while keeping an eye on the future wellbeing of everyone. These visionaries recognize how much our broken transit system has hamstrung our growth, how crucial it is for Tampa's people and economy to preserve our environment, and how essential it is that our government invest its energy correctly, not merely on pet projects and the same old failed ideas. When I say these words, I think of Commissioner Patricia Kemp, Candidate Mariella Smith, and, last but certainly not least, my father, Ed Turanchik."
John Winston Turanchik
