Democrat Rob Long is the newest member of the Florida House of Representatives, after winning an overwhelming victory Tuesday in a Palm Beach County special election.
Unofficial results Wednesday showed Long with 9,553 votes, or 63.2%. Republican Maria Zack finished far behind with 5,424 votes, or 35.9%.
Long is a loss control engineer, runs a political organizing firm, is a former member of the Palm Beach Soil and Water Conservation District board, and a former president of the Palm Beach County Young Democrats.
Yep that’s what happens when the Democratic party gives up on rural areas, middle class voters, the breadbasket and rust belt, etc for decades. Having policies that are good for them is pointless unless they can take the bully pulpit like Trump can, they refuse, with some minor exceptions. So look how bad it has to be before people are willing to vote blue.
God what I’d do to see a billboard or commercial in my red state explaining how Republicans are fucking people over.
