“Stogie Approved” Progressives for Office
Hello friends, I am writing this article to reinvigorate the desire for quality local candidates. Who do we have running in the Tampa Bay and Bennington areas who will stand up for the people?
First of all, what qualities are we looking for in candidates for local and state office? Specific platform positions, experience, character? We are certainly looking for an “all of the above” scenario. What does that look like? I will share a few candidates who I believe meet these criteria, and I hope to hear back from others regarding who should run for political office.
I admire Pat Kemp for her work on the Hillsborough County Commission. She has stood up for public transit options and medical cannabis access. I support her re-election.
I admire Gary Dolgin for his community activism. He has shown that he cares about the people and has received a wide variety of endorsements for his Circuit Court Judge campaign. I support his run.
I admire Dane Whitman for his work with local Vermont Democrats. Going from being a student at Bennington College to running for the Vermont House of Representatives is an exceptional transition, with leadership roles in between. I support his run.
Who else deserves spotlight as Stogie approved local and state candidates?
Stay groovy,
Asher

Florida Shit Sandwich
More than 2 million Floridians have now applied for unemployment benefits. Only a fraction of the applications have even been processed and even fewer workers have received payments.
---
Florida’s unemployment system was already terrible before the crisis and it has completely collapsed under pressure from COVID-19.
---
Even those close to current Republican Governor Ron DeSantis admit as much. One DeSantis advisor was quoted in the online magazine Politico as saying: “It’s a shit sandwich, and it was designed
that way by Scott.
that way by Scott.
---
It wasn’t about saving money. It was about making it harder for people to get benefits or keep benefits so that the unemployment numbers were low to give the governor something to brag about.” HERE

Florida Farmers are Selling Directly to Consumers
Last month, Florida farmers let countless tons of produce rot in their fields after the restaurants, theme parks and cruise lines they normally serve this time of year were suddenly closed due to nationwide quarantines.
This month, they are changing their business model, selling directly to the consumers who are doing a whole lot more home-cooking these days. HERE

Hank Scott of Mount Dora
During any other spring, he'd oversee an army of workers harvesting cucumbers and shipping truckloads to pickling companies along the East Coast. But the coronavirus pandemic has closed or crippled the businesses where his produce would end up. So instead, Scott, invited volunteer pickers to glean as much produce as they could and donate it to nearby
food banks. HERE
