The Palm Beach County Tea Party supports “favorite son” Brian Mast for re-election to the House in district 18, Governor Rick Scott for Senator, and Representative Ron DeSantis for Governor.
 |
In a great primary victory, Brian Mast triumphed over his challengers, winning 78% of the 71,379 votes cast in the Republican primary. With approximately 203K Republicans eligible to vote on Tuesday, that represents a turnout of 35% – quite a showing for any primary, let alone a midterm, and a sign that enthusiasm is high. We can’t rest now though as the Democrats had a respectable turnout also – their 57,929 voters was 31% of their 184K eligible voters. Now is the time to give Brian your money and your time to help him hold this seat against the formidble resources that the left will bring to “bear” for Baer. |

In the Governor’s race, our friend Ron DeSantis, backed by President Trump, rode to a 20 point victory over Adam Putnam, proving once again that media polling is fake. Ron also had a turnout advantage over the Democrats who have nominated a Bernie Sanders socialist who could not represent a more stark contrast to the DeSantis/Trump agenda. This one is for keeps, so saddle up. |

For Senator, Rick Scott brought down 89% of the vote against token opposition and will face long term incumbent Bill Nelson, a tiresome politician long past his expiration date. This election is an opportunity to replace obstructionist Democrats and never-Trumper Republicans with those who can advance the Trump agenda. Electing Rick Scott and others like him is key to this and it can succeed with our help. |
We are also rooting for our Florida House candidates – Rick Roth for HD85, Laurel Bennett for HD86, and Michael Caruso for HD89.
We hit the Trifecta. Ron victory is key because it helps set up victory for Trump in 2020. Rick provides the President a key vote for Federal Judges needed including a possible 3rd Supreme Court Judge. Brian victory would be vital to make sure that the GOP holds the house and moves forward with the President agenda
Marc Pintel’s post is right on! I would just add that I hope Brian’s election to a second term will give him more confidence to act/vote more on principle. This record is not very conservative at 44% –DeSantis was 87%.
