WORKING FOR THE PEOPLE: @RepRutherfordFL praises Jacksonvilleās unique consolidated government model during the DOJās $74 million crime grant announcement.
"Our sheriff [@jsosheriff] is not appointed by the mayor... He works for the men and women of this city, and he works to keep them safe."

Jacksonville is one of only four cities in the nation, and the only one in Florida, selected for the DOJ Model Cities Initiative.
More than $73 million to keep our families safe.
Congratulations to Sheriff T.K. Waters and the men and women of JSO. This is what results look like.

Cannot emphasize this enough.
Authenticity is key. Voters are looking for the folks who are authentic and/or the adult in the room. But even being the adult, if your campaign is run like a PBS infomercial at midnight, will not get the voters out that we need to get out.
That also goes for how your paid media strategy works. Dropping buckets of money into broadcast and cable without having a full rundown of your audience is the old way of doing things. You need to talk to the people where they are - and sometimes (most of the time) thatās not going to be on linear.

Despite the most challenging political environment in a generation, the Florida firewall held at the top of the ticket.
There will be plenty of analysis on why: Strong nominees and their top-tier campaign teams, the Governor and Legislature creating an environment to build the voter registration advantage, the Florida GOP infrastructure, and down-ballot campaigns that worked hard to drive turnout in their districts.
But my mind is on the thousands of GOP volunteers who once again worked tirelessly to get the job done. Our grassroots knocked doors, made phone calls, chased ballots and rallied their communities to turn out the vote, some of them through hurricane-level flooding. None of them did it for recognition - they did it because they believe giving their time can make a difference. And with elections this close, it absolutely did.
Not every race went our way, and there's real work ahead. For now, I'm grateful for every volunteer who showed up. You are the backbone of the Florida GOP.

āI drove around looking at thingsā is peak empty-suit politician.
Was he door knocking to help fellow republicans? Was he phone banking? Was he reaching out to ask how he can help with GOTV efforts? Did he attend a red tent and speak to voters? Duval is purple and every hand helps propel the ship.
Duval Republicans - let this be the shibboleth you need to see beyond the self-promotional theatrics.
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
- President Teddy Roosevelt
