With two weeks until the election, we’re going to check in on several campaigns.
That includes a freshman legislator who’s running while under indictment, a Brevard County legislator recently ordered by a judge to attend anger management classes, multiple lawmakers running malarkey-filled ads about insurance “reform” and details about the teeny-tiny print you’re seeing on your sample ballots.
Let’s start with Carolina Amesty , the freshman GOP rep from Windermere who’s struggling to run for re-election after being indicted by a grand jury.
Her campaign contributions have dried up and, as the Orlando Sentinel reported , the Republican Party of Florida seems to have largely abandoned her. (Note the lack of TV ads.)
The starkest statistic: Since Sept. 1, the “ Friends of Carolina Amesty ” political committee’s donation total is negative $12,500.
Yes, she actually had to return more donations than she took in. Quite the “Friends.”
GOP support for indicted Rep. Amesty may be waning in tight Orlando-area race
