Pat Kemp: A Climate Change Plan in Hillsborough County

In Hillsborough County on Sunday, we rallied & marched in support of a sustainable future. We need our own local climate action plan with a significant investment in mass transit options and in solar and energy efficiency measures. We can create jobs, save money, and reduce fossil fuels locally. As a commissioner, I will work to move us to a sustainable, energy efficient future.
I need your support today. 

Please make a campaign contribution to change our future.

Thank you!

Florida Frackers: Counties Fight Back

Dozens of Florida cities and counties oppose a plan to give the state control over the oil and gas exploration process known as fracking. Two Republican legislators, Rep. Ray Rodrigues of Estero and Sen. Garrett Richter of Naples, have proposed bills that would give the state authority to regulate oil and gas exploration, production, processing, storage and transportation. here

Rick Scott's Cronyism

Cronyism continues to thrive in the Governor's Mansion.

 The State Board of Education should be a bastion of people immersed in learning and dedicated to advancing student opportunities and success.

Instead, Gov. Rick Scott filled the seat held by John Colon, who resigned when the governor appointed him to the Manatee County School Board, with a close friend, a pal with little experience in education. here

A Real Choice For Florida Dems

Democrats, 

for once, 
have a real choice in this primary:

One candidate is a gullible ex-Republican who lacked the courage to vote against the GOP’s attempt to block Syrian refugees from coming into the United States. That’s 

Patrick Murphy. 

They say that there is no difference between most candidates running for office. Maybe that’s true in other races, but not here. 

Not between 

Alan Grayson 

and Patrick Murphy.

Fake Florida Dem Alert: Randy Perkins

The millionaire is expected to spend more than $1 million to win U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy's open seat as a Democrat,  He was registered to vote with no party affiliation for 21 years and became a Democrat days before he filed to run for District 18this month. An analysis of $925,300 donated by him  since 2002 to federal and Florida candidates, as well as political committees, show 70 percent went to Republicans. That includes Gov. Rick Scott, whose political committee in 2010 received $100,000. here

United for Care Deadlines Are Looming

Deadlines are looming for this campaign. We have to make sure we get 683,149 petitions in by January. Realistically, based on when the bills for petition collection are due, we need to raise another $73,000 by the end of the year.   We're hoping to raise another $23k Tuesday, if we can. The longer it takes, the more expensive it becomes.

This push for petitions is going to come down to the wire - and we need your help TODAY.  Please contribute here.
