Lee Nelson is running for Hillsborough County Supervisor of Elections. He is running against Buddy Johnson. I have blogged a great deal about Johnson's ethically questionable behavior and incompetence.
Mark T. Ravenscraft is running for Florida Senate seat District 3. The seat is open. Dennis Baxley is the favorite. Baxley sponsored the failed bill to allow employees to bring handguns to their job parking lot.
Citing the same pressures this year, House bill sponsor Rep. Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala, said, "There are members who are a little squeamish about getting out there on this one."
You think? Perhaps lawmakers don't want to face a replay of the Virginia Tech shooting.
Baxley also supports the racist anthem The Swanee River as the state song.
My advise to these Democratic candidates is put donation boxes on their sites. They should also contact Gatordem. He will get the Kossacks into action.
It helps Dems running for office to linked to me. I blogged like mad about Alex Sink. Ditto for Rod Smith... err, let's scratch that one.
Update: Nelson is hinting he may not run on his website.
I ran for City Council in Council Bluffs, IA in 2005, I did not win. It was a great experience and I continue to be active in the City. Will I try again? I don't know, but to be prepared, I will keep this website updated.
Update: Lee Nelson states he is running. Here is his website.
Only because Rod (though liked by many people that I respect) did not have what people wanted ....
ReplyDeleteIs that the same lee nelson that blogs at sticks? If so, he is one of the few there that always make sense. I found something on him the other day but forgot where. When will you place a link for him or is there no site yet?
Anything is better than buddy but what I remember thinking about lee is that he had some real potential ... and is on the ethical side.
I have ZERO respect for a 'lawmaker' who makes a law for no apparent reason. So many of them come to mind, I can't list them. LOL
You have a great sense of humor .. when I run for public office I will expect rabid blogging. By someone. Probably me. ppphhhhttt
I forgot the Nelson link. I will add it.
ReplyDeleteFYI: Nelson link doesn't appear correct.
ReplyDeleteHey, at LEAST I read here.
