He is seeking a seat on the Pinellas County Commission and supports the Greenlight Pinellas 14% sales tax rate hike. He proudly campaigned for Democrat leaders Janet Long and Charlie Justice when they ran for County Commission.

He should go ahead and change parties and stop running as a “Republican”.
