Former Florida GOP chair becomes Democrat — to vote for Buttigieg
The former Republican Party county chair from Florida is changing her party registration so she can vote for someone to replace President Donald Trump.
---
Cindy Guerra endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2016 over her objection to Trump, but she remained a registered Republican through that election before dropping her party affiliation. HERE
Forgetful Katie Hodges
Tensions emerged towards the end of the event, however, when Kate Hodges, a volunteer with the Buttigieg campaign in Florida, asked Pratt if the Sanders campaign had something similar to Buttigieg’s “rules for the road” platform, a campaign document that stresses that those involved in his campaign cultivate a sense of respect.
“Because I’ve seen some things in here tonight that give me great concern,” Hodges said, alluding to disparaging comments that she said she heard Sanders supporters in the audiences make about some of the other candidates at the forum. “Does Bernie have a similar protocol in writing that requires those in his campaign and supporters to be respectful and truthful?”
Pratt said that yes, Sanders had taken a “clear and unequivocal position on civility in politics,” but added that he completely rejected Hodges contention that the Vermont Senator’s supporters were poorly behaved, setting off a large cheer from the Sanders contingent in the room.
Mitch Perry
"Our community is divided over the direction of the party and when party leaders seek to force conformity in a time when there should be vigorous debate it irritates to no end. If the establishment leadership wants the support of the people, back better candidates. Racists, sexists, bullies, and billionaires...these are not leaders we should be uplifting and demanding unity behind." Chis Cano

While our reality show government lurches from atrocity to atrocity, here in the state capital, your imperial Legislature asserts more and more power
over your life.

I’m talking about preemption, the Legislature’s favorite laws, the ones overriding local governments when they differ, forbidding cities and counties to do things local people actually want. Things like protecting trees, building low-income housing, banning single-use plastic, stopping discrimination based on sexual orientation, raising the minimum wage, and regulating guns. HERE
