On Monday, Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-Fort Walton Beach) sent out a request for campaign contributions. He wrote, “A Super PAC being run by the Lincoln Project’s Leftovers has even launched a six-figure effort to take my seat!”
Ryan Wiggins, the chief of staff for The Lincoln Project, responded. “This is the first I had heard about it. I wrote my team, ‘Hey, are we launching the six-figure campaign to take Matt’s seat? It’s going to take more than six figures, and it’d be nice for y’all to tell the chief of staff these things. It turned out, no, not at all.”
Wiggins added, “I’m not trying to take Matt Gaetz’s a seat. I’m trying to make Matt Gaetz irrelevant by taking back the House and taking his president away.”
Mayor D.C. Reeves responded to the recent wave of antisemitic vandalism. He said, “This is not a community in which we’re going to tolerate people that that are intentionally trying to hurt and intimidate another group of people.”
Councilwoman Jennifer Brahier said that citizens questioned how the traffic count for Summit Boulevard increased from around 5,000 cars a day in 2019 when the Florida Department of Transportation studied the traffic flow to closer to 12,000 four years later, according to the most recent study.
“In my opinion, at the very least, we have to be able to understand why we went from 5,000 to 12,000, if we really did,” said District 1 Councilwoman Jennifer Brahier. “Was it a mistake in data or is there a trend that we need to pay attention to before we go changing roads? Those are the simple questions right there. So I agree that there needs to be more shaken out of this so that we understand what has happened.”
