I am posting to do my part and let people know about the two upcoming congressional seat special elections. I didn't find out about this until far too recently - fewer people know about this than you think. If we get the word out, we may be able to flip the house of reps by April 1st!
To flip the house of reps, the following democratic candidates are running:
Gay Valimont (FL-1, representing Pensacola, Navarre, Destin, Fort Walton Beach, etc.) - https://gayforcongress.com/
- Please note FL-1 has more veterans than any other district in Florida. Gay Valimont has been fighting hard to support veterans in this district, especially now with the 40% projected cut to VA services. She promises to work night and day to build a full service VA hospital in her district if elected. Currently, their VA is running at 140% capacity and worsening in light of recent events. If you know veterans in this area, let them know about her!
Josh Weil (FL- 6, representing Daytona Beach, South Saint Augustine, and Palm Coast, Outer Ocala, Leesburg, and Sanford, etc.) - https://joshweil.us/
Reach out to Floridians, and let people know about it! Ask any republicans or undecided voters you know to consider voting blue, just for this special election, purely as a tactical vote; the narrower congress is, the less comfortable our politicians get, meaning they will have to work faster to bring tangible benefits to struggling americans rather than wasting time on culture / trade wars that ultimately gamble with our support funds for veterans, social security, and the cost of everyday goods like groceries and gas.
I'll reiterate, reach out to fed workers, Floridians, anyone hurting from economic uncertainty and the skyrocketting costs of everyday expenses due to this fruitless trade war with our allies and ask them to consider supporting the strategic vote this upcoming special election.
Thanks y'all. Keep fighting the good fight.
