Francois is nowhere near the best candidate
A. Before this I didn't even know who she was
B. You posted those recommendations way too late
@Marini who is the best
Ehh the two other candidates would both be good, can't remember names, hold on
I think my recommendation was Miller though
Yeah my recommendation was Miller
so what exactly makes Miller the best
Well first, your recommendation has like 0% chance of winning I'd never heard of her and most of the podcasts I listen to are local
No signs either
As for why Miller was my recommendation, Miller or Sturgill would do fine, Miller would be more likely to beat Murphy
I can give specifics once I'm home
@Nuke Thanks for the list. Personally Dave Cummings for FL-18 and Eddison Walters for FL-22 seem like better choices
Also you should include Matt Gaetz (FL-1)
He included endorsements just for areas considered competitive, FL-1 is pretty safe
Vennia was chosen for the fact she explicitly opposes abortion and illegal immigration on her website (even though she supports DACA)
As for Eddison Walters...
End Illegal Immigration: Support President Trump's agenda to secure the boarder and end illegal emigration
I think the typos that are here for primary day might be enough to kill his campaign.
As for Dave Cummings...
Actually, he's better than Mast.
Here are our US House endorsements in <@&414473793499693066>:
FL-3: Ted Yoho
FL-6: Fred Costollo
FL-7: Vennia Francois
FL-13: Brad Sostack
FL-15: Ross Spano
FL-17: Julio Gonzalez and Greg Steube are both great candidates.
FL-18: Dave Cummings
FL-22: Javier Manjarres (effectively by default)
FL-23: Carla Spalding
FL-26: Carlos Curbelo (His opponent is even worse than him.)
FL-27: Maria Elvira Salazar (also, if you want, Maria Peiro is actually a good candidate, just not as good on the website)
C'mon with the spam tagging
Sorry.
You already posted it
It's been corrected though.
What was the problem?
Not seeing a difference
I put in a wrong name and replaced it.
FL-3: Ted Yoho
FL-6: Fred Costollo
FL-7: Vennia Francois
FL-13: Brad Sostack
FL-15: Ross Spano
FL-17: Julio Gonzalez and Greg Steube are both great candidates.
FL-18: Dave Cummings
FL-22: Javier Manjarres (effectively by default)
FL-23: Carla Spalding
FL-26: Carlos Curbelo (His opponent is even worse than him.)

(reposting so it doesn't get buried)
Well at least DeSantis won
Agriculture Commissioner may go to the democrats this year since the weed chick one
Ew
Also, out of 10-11 candidates we endorsed, only ~4-5 won, and most of them were either lesser-of-two-evil moderates or people in fairly uncompetitive races.
"People seem to forget that Obama won Florida twice.
I rate the race "likely R" but this can change. Two (2) black Democrats on the ticket (Sean Shaw is the AG candidate) is a wild card, but it MIGHT drive minority turnout through the roof in an off-year election. It's likely R right now because of Gillum's lesser name recognition and the poor condition of the FL Democratic Party as a whole."
"Gillum and DeSantis were widely out raised and comparitively unsupported by state politicians, newspapers, and interest groups than their opponents. It looks like both races were primarly decided by major national endorsements.
I wonder if that will continue to the general election. This would seem to set up a good proxy campaign for Trump vs Bernie."
