Vote for Kari Lerner — replace Donalds as representative for Florida’s 19th congressional district
To the editor:
Byron Donalds is an insurrectionist who voted against the certification of the 2020 election and refuses to commit to the peaceful transfer of power in the next election.
He:
– co-sponsored a bill to rescind subpoenas of Steve Bannon and three other Trump supporters who were held in contempt of congress
– co-sponsored the National Life at Conception Act legislation to make abortion illegal under all circumstances across the nation.
– signed onto Project 25, the threat to democracy game plan of Republicans to impose an ultra- conservative social vision for the U.S.
– earned an F grade from the Children’s Defenses Fund, voting NO on most legislation to protect women and children.
– voted against funding for Social Security and Medicare.
– co-sponsored four bills hostile to the LGBTQ+ community.
– neglected and stalled post-Ian tax legislation.
– opposes aid to Ukraine, efforts to reduce gun violence, government regulation of cost of medications, financing the Consumer Financial Protection bureau, and clean energy legislation efforts.
– failed to disclose over 100 stock trades he made, totaling up to $1.6 million.
