Democratic candidate for Florida Senate, District 18.

[Bob Buesing @Buesing4Senate]

Excited to march this past weekend with the students leading the movement to #MarchForOurLives . Tampa deserves a State Senator who will stand up against the NRA and lead the charge for enacting common sense gun safety reforms that will protect our students and save lives.

[Bob Buesing @Buesing4Senate]

Very excited to have joined my friend @ArtheniaJoyner for the ribbon cutting of the new Arthenia L. Joyner University Area Community Library in University Area Community Park this morning. I can’t think of a more deserving person than Senator Joyner to receive this honor.

[Bob Buesing @Buesing4Senate]

Inspired by the students speaking today at our pre-March rally. “Everyday I feel the crushing weight of a target on my back...I challenge politicians to stop living in a bubble and listen to us. Show us that you are up to task for common sense gun safety.” Now it’s time to march.

[Bob Buesing @Buesing4Senate]

Thank you for all of the wonderful supporters who joined me this morning in our #MarchForOurLives. Tampa is ready for sensible gun safety policy, it’s time to make a change in Tallahassee-and FINALLY stand up to the NRA.

[March For Our Lives Tampa Bay @mfoltampa]

we are ready for you! we are starting the rally promptly at 10AM, we can't wait to march with you! #MarchForOurLives #marchforourlivestampa #MarchForOurLivesTampaBay

[Bob Buesing @Buesing4Senate]

Today I will be marching with the students and families of Tampa in the #MarchForOurLives. I’m marching because our students deserve stronger leadership against the NRA in Tallahassee. Join me this morning as we send that message to our leaders. #NeverAgain #flapol #sayfie

Karen and I are honored to be here at the Hillsborough County Commission on the Status of Women celebrating the induction of three powerful women into the Women’s Hall of Fame! I would like to congratulate all of the inductees on this momentous achievement.

Once again, @DanaYoungFL had an opportunity to stand up for the safety of Florida’s schoolchildren. Once again, she chose to side with the NRA. https://t.co/OszbtzWaXK

Florida Senate passes school safety bill, 20-18.

[NoNRAMoney @noNRAmoney]

Wait a second. Is that a picture of his opponent aiming an AR-15 while sprawled across the US Constitution and the flag? It looks like a Stephen Colbert spoof on Comedy Central minus a swooping eagle.
This is not how rational gun policy is made.

[Bob Buesing @Buesing4Senate]

Today I’m proud to announce I’m taking the #NoNRAMoney pledge in my campaign for the Florida Senate, and I challenge my opponent @DanaYoungFL to do the same. @noNRAmoney #flapol #Sayfie

[Bob Buesing @Buesing4Senate]

It was great listening to Tampa high school students at Cafe con Tampa on Friday. We should all be so proud of these courageous students who are fighting hard  for commonsense regulation of military assault guns. #flapol

[Steve Bousquet @stevebousquet]

A proposed assault weapons ban and a skipped vote becomes an immediate issue in Tampa Senate race https://t.co/HqGQauVZHK

I.e. the @DanaYoungFL #Sayfie #flapol https://t.co/TAa2fvBhQR

[Bob Buesing @Buesing4Senate]

Dana's been taking a lot of walks these days - out of the Senate president's race and out of the chamber itself.

The only walk I'm interested in taking is directly into the Capitol to ban assault weapons. #flapol #sayfie https://t.co/xfdP8xKEGO

[Gary Fineout @fineout]

In Tallahassee parlance, the expression is "taking a walk" - meaning a person who does not want to be on the record on tough vote leaves chamber. Legislators are required to cast a vote on everything if they are on the floor

[Josh @joshweierbach]

Dana walked out when our children needed her. #sayfie #flapol https://t.co/wUOLq9lb8i

[Bob Buesing @Buesing4Senate]

I didn't expect @DanaYoungFL to stand up to the NRA, but I at least expected her to show up for the floor vote. Dana, I think the people of Senate District 18 would like to hear you explain why you missed such an important floor vote. https://t.co/N6Sm7DS1bP

[Jim Rosica @JimRosicaFL]

I think @DanaYoungFL was only senator to be shown not voting on amendment to ban assault weapons and large magazines. #FlaPol

I enjoyed taking part in yesterday's Community Conversation on Protecting Public Education with the Hillsborough LWV. This event included the screening of "Backpack Full of Cash," a documentary exploring the growing dangers of public school privatization

[Bob Buesing @Buesing4Senate]

It was great to hear @PatrickMurphyFL and @DavidJollyFL share their wisdom on how to address gerrymandering, money in politics, and the widening ideological divisions in our political discourse this morning at @CafeconTampa

[Bob Buesing @Buesing4Senate]

Great turnout at the February meeting of the Hillsborough Democrats tonight. It was great speaking to all of you! @hillsdems
