Eric Lynn, Kathy Castor among Creative Loafing endorsements for US House of Representatives

Eric Lynn, a Democrat, is running for the seat Crist vacated (and is endorsed by Crist himself). While he’s a moderate, the St. Petersburg High School grad is favored by the Independent Party of Florida, which makes sense since his opponent is Trump-obsessed, “pro-lif extremist” and election denier Anna Paulina Luna. Enough said.

My last email from Kathy Castor opponent James Judge says “MEDIA: Where are you? Seriously, WTF?” Where we at? Tuning the fuck out after you gave away AR-15s, James. Castor was already a known commodity with a proven track record, but Judge makes this a walk in the park.

In a recent debate, Republican Republican Laurel Lee cried “nonsense” when faced with accusations that she’s invested in Chinese-owned companies. But Florida Politics reports that Lee’s financial disclosure shows she and her husband, former Florida Senate President Tom Lee, own between $100,001-$250,000 worth of Alibaba stock. She’s a multi-millionaire running against a more-or-less middle class former TV journalist who opposes offshore drilling near Florida and supports expanding background checks for gun purchases. We know who we trust more.
