The Primary election is upon us with early voting and the election on August 20th. Primary elections are where you the voter have the opportunity to elect "your" best candidate to proceed on to the General Election.
However, the "Machine" believes "they" get to select candidates in the Primary election not you. The Machine wants power, control and influence. They use lots of circular money to do it.
The "Machine" recruits "their" candidates and then opens their network of deep pocketed PAC money to fund them. The Machine will recruit candidates unknown to the vast majority of the voting public so they can control all the candidate messaging and attacks on their candidates opponents.
Follow the money!
There are at least two Machine recruited and funded county commission candidates in Hillsborough County - Christine Miller and Chris Boles.
The Machine has circulated them both to run against Dr. Jim Davison, a well known Republican conservative. Davison, who has been actively engaged in local issues for over 25 years, filed to run for the county commission District 6 open seat last June of 2023.
This is what happened.
The "Machine" first recruited an unknown to the voting public Republican Rico Smith. Smith filed to challenge Davison last July, a month after Davison filed to run.
Machine money initially started flowing to Smith. But when the Machine powers decided Smith could not win a Primary against Dr. Davison, Smith's money dried up. Smith was forced to withdraw from the District 6 county commission race in January. He then filed to run for the State Representative District 67 seat. Smith's Republican Primary opponent is Lissette Bonano and the FL-D67 seat is currently held by incumbent Democrat Fentrice Driskell.
With Rico gone, in came the Machine's second recruit to challenge Dr. Davison. Another unknown to the voting public Christine Miller filed in January to challenge Dr. Jim Davison in District 6.
Miller lives in Plant City. She is President and CEO of the Greater Plant City Chamber of Commerce. The Plant City Chamber allowed Miller to remain active in her Executive position while she's running for a commission seat.
Chambers are known for their advocacy and lobbying of local elected officials.....Miller's Plant City Chamber supported the corrupt and crony Go Hillsborough transit tax hike in 2016 that caused a law enforcement investigation, and thankfully never got on the ballot.Miller's campaign Treasurer and Treasurer of her PAC is Wendy White. White is a close associate of Anthony Pedicini and Tom Piccolo, aka as the "SimWins" Twins. The SimWins Twins Machine money started flowing into her campaign account and to her Friends of Christine PAC account.
Miller's PAC account was setup 3/12/2024. Almost immediately $400K flowed to it all on the same day. Lawrence McClure's PAC Conservative Florida dumped $200K and SimWins Twin Tom Piccolo's PAC Building A Brighter Future for Florida dumped $200K into Miller's PAC.
