“I fought for our country for 21 years as a Naval Flight Officer,” Keen said during the campaign. “I will fight for my fellow neighbors in District 35 when I get to Tallahassee. I filed to run in this race in May 2023 because the residents of District 35 deserve better representation in Tallahassee.”
To show the significance here, I can't remember any other time in the last decade when Democrats posted a serious surprise victory in a legislative race in Central Florida.
And in this one, Republicans massively outspent Dems - and went all-in on texting tricks to boot.

You want people to not take you as a joke and then you say Ronda SandTits.
These two actions are not compatible

"Ron Desantis" is an anagram of "Sardine Snot"

Why couldn't they write out "House District"? Is there a cost on letters?

A drop in the bucket but a good one. I wonder if the state GOP will consider this an aberration or a warning or if they'll even care since they still have a huge majority. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_House_of_Representatives

Another one of those progressives that can't win in red states.
