Cindy Stuart tried to buy your vote

By voting against changing the 

previously approved plan.

Now she's filing required paperwork late and getting assessed a fine. I'm certainly glad she voted in this one instance the way she did but that doesn't make her fit for such an 
important public office. HERE

Hillsborough County: Start school online!

We are asking that our HCPS leaders roll up their sleeves and do whatever it takes to open schools virtually on August 24th, and remain virtual until it is safe to open per guidance from medical experts.

---
CONTEXT: Richard Corcoran, the Florida GOP Education Commissioner, has sent a letter to HCPS stating that their plan to open schools virtually goes against his emergency order, which states that schools must open their campuses no later than August unless they have a recommendation from their local Department of Health. 
Under pressure from the state to 
keep quiet
the director of our local Department of Health Douglas A. Holt refused to make a recommendation, even though the other doctors present said it would not be safe
 to open schools.

Email Dr. Holt 
 daholt@usf.edu
---
We the undersigned citizens of Hillsborough County fully expect that you will not open school campuses against medical advice, and we will hold you to that expectation as we closely monitor the upcoming emergency board meeting. HCPS must act swiftly to meet the requirements outlined in the Education Commissioner's letter, if that's what it takes to keep our community safe. Change the original plan and resubmit to the FL DOE- do not let our staff and students become part of a dangerous political experiment which will result in a revolving door of school closures and leave our most vulnerable open to illness and death.

Citrus Taliban Terry Kimple Endorses Cindy Stuart

Kevin Beckner is the best and only choice for Hillsborough Clerk of the Court! 
Cindy Stuart should immediately denounce Kemple’s endorsement!

Terry Kemple has long been on the wrong side of history and he is still peddling his hate-filled, bigoted, and discriminatory rhetoric. Kemple, has endorsed Cindy Stuart for Clerk of the Court. Cindy should immediately denounce Terry’s endorsement as he does not represent Hillsborough as a community. Terry Kemple has even spoken out against the Hillsborough Domestic Partner Registry, which benefits more than just the LGBTQ community. HERE

Florida GOP Wants A War With Hillsborough County

The Florida Department of Education has barred the Hillsborough County school district from moving forward with an online-only plan for the first month of the school year. In a letter addressed to Superintendent 
Addison Davis and Chair Melissa Snively, 
Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran said the district has only three options for 
reopening schools. HERE

Bernie: Our Movement is Winning

All across the country, up and down the ballot, progressive candidates are standing up for working people, fighting back against their establishment-backed opponents, and winning their primaries.

We saw it just this week with Cori Bush's remarkable victory in Missouri, and Rashida Tlaib's landslide win defending her seat 
in Michigan.

We've seen it in New York and Washington, with congressional candidates like Jamaal Bowman and Pramila Jayapal. With district attorneys and prosecutor races, too, like Amy Padden in Colorado and Eli Savit in Michigan.

These victories are happening nationwide because our movement has stood together. And now, more progressives across the country with primaries happening very soon are counting on us to stand with them.

---

Making calls for these progressive candidates is the most impactful thing you can do to help during the final stretch of their primaries. HERE

District 3: Sky U. White

District 3 is “the most marginalized district in Hillsborough County and also the poorest district in Hillsborough County. It also is the most neglected district in Hillsborough County, what the county needs to do is make sure we have someone on the Board of County Commissioners that’s advocating for this marginalized community. We can’t keep electing the same people that’s had the opportunity to build equity and chose not to."
