2026 Primary

Website Title Resource Summary
Pasco state Rep. Kevin Steele resigns from his legislative seat
Hillsborough- County Commission District 5 Stacy Hahn vs Donna Cepeda

First and foremost, I will proudly support the winner of the Republican Primary for the Countywide District 5 County Commissioner race.  And hope everyone else will too but based on comments, speculation and conspiracies, it is highly unlikely others feel the same way and… WHY REPUBLICANS LOSE!

My choice for Stacy is simple: we need another 'bulldog' on the county commission board like Josh Wostal.

Peacock, Sara- Circuit 13 Group 7 Judge candidate

   Would a conservative be listed among these endorsements?

Sara Peacock - was a registered Democrat until early 2025. Given the stark differences between the parties, it is hard to believe that someone who stayed a Democrat through the Biden administration and party platform evolution genuinely holds conservative values. (Changing party affiliation to NPA is common when a person...

State Senate District 16- Driskell vs Rayner

 On the question of who a bigger threat to conservative Republicans is, my answer is Fentrice Driskell. The reason is not that Rayner is moderate, she is not. The reason is that Driskell is better positioned to convert a Senate seat into durable legislative influence. She is already a recognized caucus leader, has a much stronger finance machine, holds endorsements from labor and major interest groups, and can plausibly bridge establishment Democrats, labor, environmental groups, education advocates, and some business-adjacent actors like realtors. In a Republican-dominated legislature, that sort of coalition-builder is the more operationally dangerous opponent.

Fishback, James - Gov. candidate
Just because a candidate wants to close all abortion clinics doesn't make him qualified to be Governor.  In addition, where was he during the amendment 4 debates and working to help us prevent the abortion amendment from passing?  Anyone who is 'so pro-life' had an opportunity to be heard during that campaign!!  
 
 Based on the public record I was able to retrieve, there are three core, well-substantiated clusters of statements in which Fishback either explicitly says he would shoot someone or endorses shooting a hypothetical attacker. The strongest and most verifiable cluster came on February 10, 2026, after he claimed someone had tried to burn down his home: in the text accompanying his official post, he wrote, “We will shoot you dead,” and in the associated video he said, in substance, “We’re going to shoot you with an AR-15” if someone attacked campaign staff or volunteers.

Manimala, Neil - 2026 Hillsborough County Commissioner Race

Voters be aware of a significant discrepancy regarding candidate Neil Manimala. While he is currently presenting himself as a non-partisan candidate at various community and Republican meetings, public records indicate he has maintained a long-term Democratic affiliation since at least 2008. I encourage voters to review his official endorsements at neilmanimala.com and his social media presence at facebook.com/VoteManimala to see the full context of his political history and support base. 

Furthermore, it is concerning to see campaign advertisements appearing in church bulletins under the guise of promoting his profession. Using religious publications for partisan political promotion is highly unethical and raises serious questions about his integrity.

On a personal note, my background in mental health counseling has given me a deep perspective on this: it is incredibly difficult for someone in an abusive situation to ever come forward. By the time they find the courage to involve the police and seek help, the situation has often been escalating for a long time - often reaching a point more severe than she can...
