1. The Mosh Pit East video showed that Pam Childers, at best, had a bad memory of what happened on June 12, or, at worst, she lied. She did not have her laptop when she, Bruce, and Cameron Smith went to the Supervisor of Elections (SOE) office the first time. Smith never heard anyone say “that everything that needed to be done had been done,” as stated in Summary of Facts (page 4) of Plaintiff’s Bench Brief, because Smith was not there on the second visit when Pam had her laptop.
2. Bruce Childers does not appear capable of serving as Supervisor of Elections. The retired attorney doesn’t understand Florida election laws, failing to complete a process that hundreds of candidates statewide did successfully. He had to have his wife do it for him. Pam Childers spent more time on the witness stand than Bruce because attorney Ed Fleming believed she would be the better witness.
3. During her testimony, Pam appeared very concerned about the public knowing the couple’s finances. She called Form 6 “Complete Financial Disclosure” and insinuated that the information was unavailable to the public. Pam said something about a July 1 deadline, and then the public could ask to see the financial information from the Commission on Ethics after that date. Bender’s attorney, George Levesque, corrected Pam – the title of Form 6 is “Full and Public Financial Disclosure.” It is a public document when the candidate submits it to the SOE. See Bruce Childers Form 6 provided after the deadline. Note: Pam also slipped when she said she was a Certified Professional Accountant. CPA stands for Certified Public Accountant.
4. Though Bruce and Pam Childers repeatedly attacked Robert Bender, accusing him of lacking integrity and using the power of his office to gain revenge on Pam by deliberating not informing the couple about the missing Form 6, Sonya Daniel said she was the sole qualifying officer for Bruce Childers. She made the decision to disqualify him, and she had no discussions with Bender in making that decision. The Childers owe Bender a public apology.
5. Pam likes to tie her political career to Gov. Ron DeSantis. She testified that she works for DeSantis and has said it in BCC meetings. DeSantis is very thorough in making appointments—maybe the most thorough of any Florida governor. However, Pam wants the public to believe DeSantis made a mistake in appointing Bender, and she, Bruce, and her family had to remedy it by convincing Bruce to run.
