Congratulations Kristine Kraus on being elected Chair of the Seminole County School board by her peers, including newly-elected board members Autumn Garick and Kelly Davis! 👏👏 🎉

Our kids are in great hands! 📚

[Alison Holmes @AlisonHoImes]

@BJacksonforFL @ida_v_e @AnnaForFlorida Clearly you’re extremely emotional about your loss, Bonnie, but this obsessive trolling isn’t a good look … you really need to move on.

@maxberger This was my son @JJHoImes meeting @BarackObama in 2016, after JJ was kicked out of a Trump rally (for protesting Trump mocking a reporter with disabilities).

[Steve Schale @steveschale]

Yesterday, this young man was kicked out of a Trump rally. As he was leaving, people kicked at his wheelchair. Today, he met his President.

[Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith @CarlosGSmith]

Thank you to @AlisonHoImes and @JJHoImes for your kind words and for your advocacy. We'll keep fighting to eliminate the APD waitlist for families like yours!

[Alison Holmes @AlisonHoImes]

@CarlosGSmith @JJHoImes Having you always standing strong in our corner has given me and JJ the strength to fight … and we will continue to fight, because of your fearless example.

“@CarlosGSmith said GOP lawmakers tout their “pro life” credentials when passing new abortion restrictions but rarely pass legislation “to care for those living, breathing human beings in the state of Florida whose quality of life is suffering.” https://t.co/wG2PRJgk68

[Alison Holmes @AlisonHoImes]

@CarlosGSmith @JJHoImes It’s always easier to see light in the darkness and we can still clearly see the light within you burning brightly.

We’re ready for the next CGS chapter.

[Alison Holmes @AlisonHoImes]

The loss of @CarlosGSmith is utterly devastating to my family.

[Scott Maxwell @Scott_Maxwell]

Florida has a shameful record of serving special-needs families.
The waiting list for services has 22,000 people. Many have been waiting a decade.
Some kids die before getting help.
Those families are lamenting the loss of one of their few, vocal advocates

@Paul_Renner @FLGOPMajority https://t.co/WODnzl4iWU
How about you work on finding the 22,000 disabled kids/adults in Florida who need assistance to live independently at home? Your party has ignored the issue for far too long.

[Alison Holmes @AlisonHoImes]

@JenCousinsFL @OCPSnews It irritates me no end, in Seminole County, when they let the crazies pray during public comment but this one was actually called on by your Chair to get up and froth at the mouth.

[Alison Holmes @AlisonHoImes]

@CarlosGSmith She’s morally bankrupt.

[Alison Holmes @AlisonHoImes]

@JenCousinsFL @OCPSnews And who was that preaching his MAGA gospel? Not what I was expecting to see at a school board meeting.

[Alison Holmes @AlisonHoImes]

@ProfessorBec @SteveLemongello @GovRonDeSantis “Personal protection devices” (as she likes to call them) are not “disruptive in the lives of anyone” … unless, of course, you’re shot dead by someone carrying a personal protection device.

[Jason Garcia @Jason_Garcia]

Republicans just gained super-majorities in both chambers of the Florida Legislature.

That means Florida Republicans now have the votes to unilaterally:

1) Cut local government revenues

2) Expel members

That first one is going to become a big deal, I think.

[Alison Holmes @AlisonHoImes]

@CarlosGSmith Tallahassee will be a crueler, bleaker place without your tireless energy, passion & commitment.

I want to thank you for your tenacious fight to help get services for the 23k severely disabled kids in Florida who the GOP have basically forgotten about. You never forgot Carlos.

[Only Righteous Fights @dawnbelue]

Bright spot in an otherwise horrible Florida election cycle — kindness, decency and focus on safe, effective education will be well-represented on the @SCPSInfo board. Congrats @Garick4Schools!

[Dave Spore @Sporaticus_]

Orlando voters in HD 37 please go vote for @CarlosGSmith - he’s an amazing state representative and a fearless fighter for your community!

Added bonus: it’ll disappoint DeSantis’ chief troll Christina Pushaw

[JJ Holmes @JJHoImes]

Get out there and vote for @Garick4Schools and Kelley Davis tomorrow

[Alison Holmes @AlisonHoImes]

@GovRonDeSantis You don’t protect severely disabled children, there’s 22,759 of them - including my son - waiting for services so they’re not forced into an state run institution. You’re all talk Governor DeSantis.

[Alison Holmes @AlisonHoImes]

@here4theshtshow @GovRonDeSantis @scottplakon @jasonbrodeur @AaronPBean @WiltonSimpson The only legislators who will listen, and who are willing to fight for the 22,759 severely disabled kids on the waitlist, are reps like @AnnaForFlorida & @CarlosGSmith

[Alison Holmes @AlisonHoImes]

@here4theshtshow @GovRonDeSantis State rep @scottplakon isn’t interested & won’t even meet with us. State senator @jasonbrodeur has met with us, but can’t or won’t help. We went to Tallahassee to try & meet with @AaronPBean & @WiltonSimpson but they refused. We were told to switch to CMS — it made no difference.
