My predecessor talked a lot about increasing manufacturing.

But in reality, construction of manufacturing facilities on U.S. soil only grew by 2% on his watch in 4 years.

On my watch, it’s grown by nearly 100% in 2 years, and we’ll continue this progress.

“He is an authoritarian, right-wing populist who bullies and punishes local government, private businesses and individuals whenever they displease him” Yup. sounds right.

TALLAHASSEE—Ron DeSantis promised to drain the swamp here. Instead, over more than 4 years as governor, he has reconfigured the swamp to suit his political needs & shielded it from Florida’s famous sunshine.

@Mdixon55 & me on how RDS nested in the swamp.

DEP drags its feet on halting pollution of Florida’s precious springs (& our drinking water). Lawmakers reply w/bill to stop local govt from fixing it. https://t.co/UOJE4c6TSa via @FLPhoenixNews

A quarter of our national debt – which took 200 years to accumulate – was added by my predecessor.

How did Congress respond?

They voted three times to keep paying America’s bills without preconditions or crisis.

They paid America’s bills then, why won’t they now?

The governor’s efforts to prop up supplicant sources of news — while trying to destabilize and delegitimize independent ones — make for a dangerous combination, said Michael Barfield, Florida Center for Government Accountability https://t.co/QXNqC63kTS via @NiemanLab

County commissioners side with citizens rather than developers to save water from mining. Refreshing. https://t.co/KrxHY9qcwt via @FLPhoenixNews

First CBO score of the new Congress is here.

Says that the GOP IRS funding bill would reduce spending by $71.5B and reduce revenue by $185.8B.

Net deficit increase of $114B.

County Commissioner Pendergrass was in Germany during Hurricane Ian and won't say whether taxpayers paid for the trip. Write in Karen Watson and Jim Sheets.

[WINK News @winknews]

Sources tell WINK News a Lee County commissioner was out of the country while Southwest Florida got hit by Hurricane Ian.

Horrifyingly poor judgment by Lee County leadership. People died because they chose not to follow their plan. #TimeForChange

[WINK News @winknews]

As Hurricane Ian barreled over Western Cuba toward the Gulf of Mexico, counties on the Southwest coast of Florida had their emergency management plans at the ready — plans that every Florida county must prepare and regularly update.

This new DNC ad should be on every TV in the country.

[Lee Blue Wave Coalition @LeeBlueWave]

There is no excuse. It is time for a change. Vote to replace County Commissioners.
Write in Karen Watson for Dist 2
Write in Jim Sheets for Dist 4

NEW: an hour-by-hour analysis of weather advisories, emergency notifications, on-the-ground accounts + visuals and official messaging shows the toll of Lee County’s delay in ordering mandatory evacuations before Hurricane Ian. w/ @aolivo @D_Hawk @ssdance.

Hey, friends, we just gave our company to planet Earth. OK, it’s more nuanced than that, but we’re closed today to celebrate this new plan to save our one and only home. We’ll be back online tomorrow.

Ron won’t answer questions so we looked ourselves: FL paid Vertol Systems $615,000 on Sept 8th out of the $12m deportation fund.

So Floridians paid $12,300 for each refugee DeSantis trafficked for his own political purposes.

More to come.

Mangroves can be lifesavers: Their dense root systems act as buffers for coastal communities against hurricanes. #MangrovesMatter @ConservationOrg https://t.co/fSsqL4BaYe

WOW. Please watch.

Unqualified companies with links to County Commissioner Mike Greenwell awarded $3 million contracts. Then increased to $11 million in taxpayer dollars. https://t.co/IZXt72ZRgR
