Bob McCann is certainly a better alternative than Mr. Turner, but what sane person would. accept and post an endorsement by General Flynn on their website.
I wonder about the judgment of anyone who supports MAGA.
MAGA = Pedicini
Joe DiBartolomeo is the better choice for Manatee County Commission District 5.

Dear Patty,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
It's essential to clarify what MAGA represents. The Make America Great Again movement emphasizes a return to traditional values, economic revitalization, and strong national security.
Make America Great Again and America First movements require a commitment to the greater good of the community, rather than self-serving agendas. Individuals who prioritize their personal interests or advancement over the collective well-being of the nation cannot genuinely embody the spirit of MAGA or America First.
From this perspective, those who seek to exploit these slogans for personal gain or who engage in divisive behavior are pretenders or phonies. Such individuals are undermining the core values of unity, patriotism, and communal responsibility that the movements aim to promote.
A genuine commitment to making America better involves not only fostering national pride and economic opportunity but also working collaboratively for the benefit of all citizens. Therefore, when self-interest overrides the principles of shared sacrifice and community welfare, it raises questions about the authenticity of one's commitment to these ideologies. Authentic patriotism requires a recognition that individual successes are intertwined with the health and progress of the broader society.
Encourage you to read this article:

Paragraphs 6 and 7...
“It is a brass knuckle approach. The guy is not about community, he doesn’t care who he trashes,” Antunes, who has written an E-book on political dark money in Sarasota and Manatee counties, said. ”That’s Pedicini’s stock in trade. He’s just there to get results.”
Pedicini succeeds with a brutal political machine fueled by a seemingly endless amount of money from political committees he controls that is often used to fund disinformation campaigns against his client’s opponents. These campaigns regularly employ deception, such as false allegations or fake support from ideological enemies, to mislead voters. While Florida election code makes it illegal for a candidate to make “false or malicious charges against, or false statements about, opposing candidates,” it’s not clear those working for the candidate are governed by the same rules. Some of these attacks, though, approach the line regarding Federal Communications laws against political robotexting and robocalling without consent.
Pedicini is NOT MAGA
Thank you for sparking this dialogue, as it helps clarify our individual perspectives on these crucial matters.
Best regards,
Trent Wayman
