In prior diaries, Zen Trainer and I exposed anti-Semitic and racist statements by arguably the worst Democrat in the country: Trump supporting Florida State Representative Kim Daniels, whose “greatest hits” include “I thank God for slavery...if it wasn’t for slavery, I might be somewhere in Africa worshipping a tree.” And “You can talk about the Holocaust, but Jews own everything!”
But also, she received an “F” on People First, a Report Card compiled by Florida progressive groups.
Public interest organizations Progress Florida and Florida Watch graded each Florida state legislator based on their voting record on issues that matter most to everyday Floridians: our health, reproductive freedom, the economy, neighborhood
All this in a Biden +30 District!
The primary is August 20 and Therese Wakefield-Gamble is her opponent. She needs to overcome Daniels’ cash advantage.
On the Report Card, People First details the votes that earned Daniels an F and rated all of these votes as “Bad for Floridians.” Daniels voted the wrong way on every one of them:
Anti-Abortion Taxpayer-Funded Propaganda (HB 415);
Banning Local Control of Short Term Rentals (SB 280)
Bear Killing, Anti-Conservation (HB 87)
Climate Crisis Denial Bill (HB 1645)
Community IDs Ban (HB 1451)
Corruption in Government (SB 7014)
Gun Violence: Background Check Repeal (HB 17)
Gun Violence: Repeals Purchase Age Requirement (HB 1223)
Living Wage Requirement Ban (HB 705)
Predatory Consumer Finance Loans (HB 1347)
Public School Religion Promotion (HB 931)
Workers' Unions Attack (HB 1471)
Here’s more on Daniels. Please help Therese for as much as you can afford.
