Florida District 15 Candidates Seek to Oust Laurel Lee (1 of 2 Parts)

This race will be critical for those in Tampa, Florida as well as the country. Laurel Lee, the Secretary of State prior to Cord Byrd, has a lot of money and power behind her. She refused then to call for audits to the 2020 election in Florida instead insisting that the state’s elections went smoothly and with little problems. Those of us who have been involved in investigating the elections processes here in Florida know better.

Since becoming Florida US Congresswoman in 2022, she's been proving repeatedly what an Establishment figure she really is. She was one of just six Florida GOP members to vote in favor of the $1.2 trillion spending package that kept the federal government open and was the only one of Florida’s congressional delegation to endorse Gov. Ron DeSantis in his embarrassing bid for president against Donald Trump. She MUST be replaced.

Trump himself agrees. In March he posted on Truth Social: "Any great MAGA Republicans looking to run against Laurel Lee in Florida’s 15th Congressional District? IF SO, PLEASE STEP FORWARD!” With that, two candidates did: James Judge and Jennifer Barbosa.

In a two-part interview of which this is one part, I interviewed both of these candidates separately and both have amazing stories to tell. This is the story of Jennifer Barbosa and why she believes she is the better candidate for the job. Make sure to check out my comparison interview with James Judge, as well at rumble.com/c/warn2024.

Barbosa claims that Judge has violated campaign finance laws after using a good chunk of his donations on personal compensation that benefitted his wife and business. I did contact Judge after my Barbosa interview to ask for his response and he said this is hogwash. Every expenditure, according, to him is within the law.

One of these candidates needs to exit this race if Floridians are to have a chance at getting rid of yet another RINO-Establishment politician that Laurel Lee has proven herself to be.

This was not an easy endorsement to make. While I found Jennifer Barbosa to be a believable and extremely capable candidate, I felt James Judge to be the better of the two because:
1) Barbosa has no trackable history in Tampa in politics or otherwise. It's just too much of a gamble for me.
2) I cannot be sure that if she were in DC, she has the fighting personality that could stand up to the bully pressures of the UniParty.
3) I have not seen the proof that she's been a Republican for the length of time she claims and James Judge alleges and her interview responses did not assuage that concern.

For those reasons, I am giving my Star of Endorsement to James Judge for Florida's District 15.

Even so, I would encourage all my viewers to watch both interviews, do your own homework, and use caution! This is a great time for all you keyboard sleuths out there to dig deeper than I have time to do myself! If you find anything of substance, please leave comments below so I can follow up. If either candidate were to be found untruthful about their accusations of the other, I would automatically endorse the other, even if it meant withdrawing my initial endorsement to do so.
