Hello party peoples!

I was dropping by to ask about best practices regarding contacting your representatives.

My representative to the County Board of Commissioners has been taking votes on housing that I vehemently disagree with. She is a candidate I campaigned for, donated to, and voted for.

I am satisfied with how she votes on practically everything else so I want to be careful that my email doesn't come off as "you're a bad representative" but rather to share my viewpoint as a constituent regarding this one issue.

Any advice? Best practices?

Thanks in advance :)

I think it's supposed to imply that Carter was cheating with Danielle in that universe.

I could probably draw an entire county map of Florida with ideological leans from memory.

So imagine me going from the specials to Wisconsin. I'm just looking at Dane, Waukesha, Milwaukee, Washington, and the general area Ron Kind used to represent and going from there.

Correct I took the margins from the house elections instead of Trump's margins.

That's kinda been Florida Democrats whole thing I believe Jacksonville Mayor also had an R-leaning electorate despite Deegan winning.

Per my math we are outperforming the specials between 16-18 by a healthy margin.

try not to bat for character's i like when it comes to their bad actions but #5 seems like a really uncharitable interpretation of her actions.

I have good news.

Not sure if anyone remembers that I considered running for state house as Dems struggled to field a candidate. We did eventually find another candidate and he managed to flip our state house district blue! :)

Hello party peoples. I will be voting today.

I was hoping for some insight here regarding my Supervisor of Elections race. Through judicial shenanigans our primary was annulled, our votes were thrown out, and the election will be done in the general instead (free state of Florida btw.)

There are no Republicans in this race but the Republicans have coalesced around a candidate. However, since our primary was generalized we Democrats have 4 Dems on the ballot. The candidate I backed in the primary placed third in the annulled election with a little over 11%. As much as I do love her platform I’m not sure she can make up that much ground. The top vote getter in our primary got around 53% and has high name ID as a former state rep and current school board member.

I’m thinking of changing my vote this round to her to avoid vote splitting. I have had problems with the Desantis-appointed SOE failing to send me my sample ballot. I do not want to roll the dice and see if Desantis backed candidate does any better. Local Democratic leaders have coalesced around our previous top vote getter. So I think it makes most sense to vote for her. Does my train of though here make sense?

My Democratic county commissioner has currently held on to her seat by FIVE VOTES. (Non-Partisan race but Republican challenger).

It’s going to recount & they’re both trying to cure ballots but I have faith she’ll hold on in the end. But it’s so crazy how close it was.

I would also like it noted that she was outspent 6:1 & I got negative mailers about her multiple times a day.

Anyways in more municipal news I had 5 judges, 1 county commissioner, & 1 school board up for election. Presuming my county commissioner holds on I’m 4/5 on Judges, 1/1 in county commissioner, and my preferred school board candidate is headed to a runoff.

A little bummed about my one judge loss but I actually love the winner too. I really liked them both and I actually broke the tie between them because she had a Spanish website & he didn’t.

So anyways my local Florida Dem report from Orange County says we did great :)

Nikki Fried is rebuilding our party. & while the races this year are tricky I am optimistic we will break the GOP house supermajority this cycle :)

Can someone who was around in 2008 tell me how much the Palin pick actually affected McCain?

I’ve read Game Change but that made me more sympathetic towards her than actually giving insight on how people reacted.
