Senator Chris Murphy & Representative Maxwell Frost held a town hall in Sarasota to a packed audience!

It was so inspiring. MSNBC may cover it.

Sarasota, to its shame, is the birthplace of the Moms for Liberty (the Proud Boys' Ladies Auxiliary). The dishonorable Michael Flynn also infests the area, so we've been on the front lines of the MAGA takeover efforts for some time. But local activists never stopped pushing back. We de-MAGA-ed our public school board (with help from Bridget Ziegler and her adventurous hubby). We deal with a continuing deluge of MAGAt voters who move here because they think they like fascism, and corruption and hypocrisy from the servile FL GOP politicians who only answer to their billionaire donors. It takes resilience to stay in the fight, and success won't happen quickly. But if Dems in the Sweatstain State can keep on keeping on, there's hope for America. So keep resisting, all y'all.

Due to its large population of seniors. When the cuts to SS and Medicare hit, watch out!
