Florida: Anybody but Charlie Crist for Congress

Former Governor, former Republican turned Independent, turned Democrat is running for Congress in Florida’s District 13.

According to BallotPedia:

The 13th Congressional District of Florida will hold an election for the U.S. House of Representatives on November 8, 2016.

Florida’s 13th Congressional District is rated safely Democratic in 2016. It was previously rated as a battleground, but due to court-ordered redistricting [due to a lawsuit by the League of Women Voters], the seat became much more Democratic. Incumbent David Jolly (R) is seeking re-election in 2016. He initially planned to pursue a U.S. Senate bid, but he dropped out of the race in preparation for incumbent Marco Rubio‘s entry. Jolly will face [General] Mark Bircher [U.S. Marine Corps Reserves] in the Republican primary [on August 30th, 2016]. On the Democratic side, former Governor Charlie Crist will face no primary opponent. The primary elections will take place on August 30, 2016. The general election will take place on November 8, 2016.

It is critical that District 13 say in the Republican column.

On July 11th, 2016, Gen Bircher spoke to the Pinellas County Republican Executive Committee for a little over seven minutes.  During that time, he expressed why he is seeking the office of Representative in Florida’s Congressional District 13 and made a remarkable pledge during his conclusions. Most of the presentation was off the cuff, and so rather than wait on a transcript, we are offering readers the full, unedited video.

Below is the video of that speech given by General Mark Bircher titled “The American People and America never stopped being great. What stopped being great was our government”:
