It's time, John.
The end of our first quarter on this campaign draws near and waiting on the sidelines is no longer an option. It’s time to choose your fighter for Florida’s 15th District.
(If you’re already solidly on Team Eddie, chip in to help us reach our goal of 500 grassroots donations before midnight on the 30th. But if you’re not, read on for a preview of Florida’s biggest match up since The Undertaker vs Edge at WrestleMania XXIV).
The Incumbent: Scott Franklin. Trump Republican who embraced the Big Lie and voted to overturn the 2020 election results. He also voted against COVID relief and against infrastructure. The only thing he’s voted for is to shut down the government. Put it all together and you get someone who has a background of service that we respect (seriously!), but who has chosen to disregard all that in order to tow the Trump Republican line.
(Cue raucous boos)
The Stakes: The Crisis Deluxe Package. Climate crisis, healthcare crisis, housing crisis, democracy crisis, cost-of-prescription-drugs crisis, workforce crisis, and more. It’s a mad world out there right now, folks, and the consequences are all too real.
(Cue anxious tittering and grumbling)
The Challenger: University of Florida graduate and former comedian who spent the last decade working in activism (MoveOn.org, The Democratic National Committee, Priorities USA), whose experience in politics and activism has given him a great deal of insight in how things get done in Washington. Progressive. A consensus builder. Non-flexible principles with room to compromise on the tactics and implementation. It’s. . . Eddie Geller!
(Cue stupendous cheers! The people have their champion
and his name is Eddie Geller!)
The months ahead will be long and hard-fought, but with grassroots supporters like you by our side, we will win this race, help Democrats hold the House, and bring real leadership back to Florida’s 15th District. Contribute $5 or $10 to throw your hat into the ring with Eddie before Thursday’s deadline.
