RNC is Seeking Poll Workers and Poll Watchers as Part of Florida Election Integrity Efforts







The Republican National Committee has been working diligently since shortly after the 2020 election to ensure that our elections are safe and secure. In Florida, we have passed laws to make it easy to vote but hard to cheat.



However, the laws need monitoring at all levels. The RNC, coordinating with the RPOF, is supplementing what our Florida county parties are doing to help with that.

AG Moody and Law Enforcement Agencies Bust Gang Members and Seize Enough Fentanyl to Kill Half of Florida’s Population





Attorney General Ashley Moody’s Office of Statewide Prosecution and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement shut down a major drug trafficking organization this week operated by gang members affiliated with Mexican drug cartels. 



Attorney General Moody’s Statewide Prosecutors are charging 25 defendants, including SUR-13 gang members, with multiple felony counts related to drug trafficking, violent criminal acts and conspiracy. Authorities seized more than 50 pounds, or 23 kilograms, of fentanyl — enough to kill more than 11 million Floridians, approximately half the state’s population.



“In just a few months’ time, authorities have seized enough fentanyl to wipe out the combined populations of 66 of Florida’s 67 counties—more than 19 million people! The prevalence of this dangerous substance poses a critical threat not only to the wellbeing of the citizens of our state but also our nation.”

Jimmy Patronis Sounds Alarm on Dangerous Mix of Electric Cars and Storm Surge







In the wake of Hurricane Ian, Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis is raising the alarm over electric vehicles’ dangerous mix of lithium batteries and storm surge. 



Patronis, who is also Florida’s Fire Marshal, said Congress needs to assess fire risks associated with saltwater on electric vehicles, adding that fire teams need more resources to deal with an “inevitable” increase in fires associated with electric-powered automobiles.



“I joined North Collier Fire Rescue to assess response activities related to Hurricane Ian and saw with my own eyes an EV continuously ignite, and continually reignite, as fireteams doused the vehicle with tens-of-thousands of gallons of water,” CFO Patronis said. “Subsequently, I was informed by the fire department that the vehicle, once again reignited when it was loaded onto the tow truck. Based on my conversations with area firefighters, this is not an isolated incident.”
