At a moment when Black political representation is under coordinated attack, FL-20 deserves someone who has actually been fighting for the community, not a career politician looking for a soft landing spot after redistricting.

“Debbie Wasserman Schultz is carpetbagging to a Black opportunity district,” says candidate Elijah Manley. “She is no different than the Jim Crow Republicans that are eviscerating Black representation across the South.”

A new Pensacola based listener group with Political Mayrix News poll shows that Elijah Manley has a small lead over Rep. Cherfilus. 

38% of voters picked Mankey, 35% picked Cherfilus and 10% picked Holness. 13% of voters remained undecided. 

Without Cherfilus in the ballot, 45% would pick Manley,  33% Holness while 22% would remain undecided. 

Only 22% of voters believe that Cherfilus should remain in office due to her scandals and ongoing ethics investigation.

The South Florida Sun Sentinel editorial board is calling on Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick to resign, saying the controversy around her office has become too serious. 

The most serious charge is that she tapped into overpayments of more than $5.7 million from Florida to her company, Trinity Health Care Services, during her 2021 special election race. 

According to FEC filings her progressive challenger Elijah Manley is leading with a significant fundraising haul.

So Democratic Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormickis suing her 26 year old primary opponent Elijah Manley for defamation. Just so people know, it’s nearly impossible for a politician to win a case against someone for defaming them, especially someone running against them. This is insane.

Once again, this is a line that should not be crossed. Using the U.S. military against Americans on American soil is not only illegal, it will erode trust in the United States government and our armed forces. This is a crime and any official who orders this is committing treason.

Threatening to use active duty military to attack your own citizens is something you might expect from a dictatorial regime or a tyrant like Assad. It has no place in the United States. Trump should be removed from office and Pete Hegseth should be tried for treason.
