Castor and Pedicini
In Manatee County Republican grassroots organizers sent the Lavender Republican political operative Anthony Pedicini back to Tampa with his tail between his legs to hang out with the Liberal Democrat left-wing radical LGBTQ Tampa Mayor Jane Castor.
Manatee County voters sent a message state-wide that Governor Ron DeSantis and his gangster multi dollar contributors Carlos Beruff and Pat Neal Lavender Republican Political operative Pedicini got handed his lunch, as all of his handpicked candidates went down in defeat in Manatee County.
It was stunning that Pedicini, who is described by the local and state-wide media, as the state’s “top dog” political operative out of Ybor City lost all four Manatee County Commission seats and the Manatee County Supervisor of Election position.
The most prominent Pedicini/Neal/Beruff Gang defeat was the defeat of Kevin Van Ostenbridge, who was endorsed by DeSantis and is Pedicini close personal “friend.”
That was followed by equally humiliating defeats of James Satcher and Ray Turner. DeSantis not only endorsed Satcher, DeSantis appointed Satcher on 4/12/24 to replace Michael Bennett, as the Manatee County Supervisor of Election when Bennett resigned the position.
In addition, DeSantis not only endorsed Turner, DeSantis appointed Turner on 7/27/23 to replace Manatee County Commissioner Vanessa Baugh when Baugh resigned her position.
Pedicini and Van Ostenbridge
Pedicini can now take his boyfriend, FORMER Manatee County Commissioner Van Ostenbridge with him back to Ybor City to join up with Pedicini’s Tampa’s Mayor Castor Lesbian/Gay/Bi-sexual/Trans Gender/Queer/(LGBTQ) Coalition.
Brown
Pedicini might think of taking the Editor of the Sarasota Herald Tribune Roger Brown with him after Brown led SHT the two man Edoridal Board in endorsing Pedicini's main “squeeze” Van Ostenbridge. Brown's endorsement of the Pedicini/Beruff flunky Van Ostenbridge left no doubt what a total mullet wrapper the SHT has become.
DeSantis with Pedicini boyfriend Van Ostenbridge
"Don't say Gay" Florida Governor DeSantis endorsement of the Pedicini/Carlos Beruff flunky Van Ostenbridge says it all about DeSantis.. DeSantis just another hack politician in the pockets of his multimillion dollar donors.
In Manatee County, Republican grassroots activists led by former President Donald Trump supporters defeated four Pedicini candidates and elected four Manatee County Trump conservative Republican Commissioners and a Manatee County Supervisor of Election.
In Manatee County, Republican grassroots organizers ended the Pedicini/Beruff/Neal SHIT SHOW at the Manatee County Commission by electing four Trump conservative Republicans to the County Commission.
Jensen/Benderson/Beruff/Neal
In Manatee County attempts by the Chairperson of the Manatee County Republican Executive Committee, April Culbreath to lead the MREC in support the Lavender Pedicini’s candidates handpicked by Beruff/Neal/ Rex Jensen/ Randy Benderson candidates FAILED. Culbreath was also a Pedicini client, who got defeated for a Manatee County Commission position.
The anti-development coalition also elected Jacqualine Heissse as MREC State Committeewoman and Trent Wayman as MREC State Committeeman.
That Manatee County anti-establishment Republican coalition was formed to take out the Manatee County Commissioners in the pockets of the Bruff/Neal Gang. They all forgot about what they disagreed about and came together in what they agreed upon and that was to end the PedicinI/Beruff/Neal/Culbreath SHIT SHOW turning Manatee County into PARADISE LOST.
A very different story in Sarasota County where anti-establishment Republican groups did not forget what they disagree upon and come together in what they believe upon, which has led to left-wing radical socialist Democrat candidates Tom Edwards and Liz Barker elected to the Sarasota County Commission.

The EQUALITY FLORIDA Lesbian/Gay/Bi-Sexual/Transgender/Queer (LGBTQ) endorsed candidates Edwards and Barker, who were also endorsed by Neal and the good ole boys at the Gulf Coast Builders Exchange were led by left-wing radical socialist organizations like Save Our Schools (S.O.S), Woman Voices of SW Florida and the communist Party of Socialists and Liberation (PSL).

Someone should ask Lisa Schurr and her other co-founders at S.O.S like Paulina Testerman and Carol Learner why multimillion developers like Neal and the others at GCBX making $ millions turning Sarasota into Paradise Lost endorsed Edwards?
Antunes/Muntz/Matrullo
Throw in Cathy Antunes, Kendra Muntz, Tom Matrullo and the other anti-Neal development critics the above question. They being the best and brightest, they should figure that one out.
Edwards and Harper
In Sarasota County the left-wing socialist candidates Edwards and Harper were aided financially by a nation-wide LGBTQ organization called AGENDA out of Philadelphia, who funneled thousands of dollars to an affiliate organization in Ft. Lauderdale to support the socialist Democrat School Board candidates Edwards and Barker in Sarasota.
The question has to be asked is how is that in Manatee County, Trump conservatives grassroot organizers send the Lavender LGBTQ establishment Republican political operative Pedicini down to defeat, while in Sarasota two left-wing radical socialist Democrat School Board candidates endorsed by Equality FLORIDA LGBTQ got elected?
Brill
The answer is simple to anyone who knows how it works politically in Sarasota County. In Sarasota County the Sarasota County Republican Executive Committee (SREC) led by Chairman Jack Brill financed by “Pay to Play” developers like Neal once again played out the back door agreement between the SREC and Sarasota County Democrat Executive Committee (SDEC).
The agreement has been in effect ever since Brill became the handpicked Chairman of the SREC by Neal.
DeVries
The unspoken arrangement between the local UNI Party REC and the UNI Party DEC was set up by Brill and former DEC Chairwoman Joanne DeVries with developer Godfather Neal’s full approval and continues today.
Kuether
The unspoken agreement is for the SREC led by Brill is to stay out of School Board and City of Sarasota County Commission elections and the SDEC led by DeVries and now SDEC Chairman Daniel Kuether is to stay clear of Sarasota County Commission races or other county-wide Sarasota County races.
Brill's unspoken agreement with Kuether is with an individual, who moved to Sarasota with his husband a few years ago and is major supporter of the Gay/Lesbian/Bi-Sexual./Transgender/ Queer/ (LGBTQ) agenda.
That agreement allowed developers like Neal/Beruff/Benderson/Jensen to control the Sarasota County Commission and developers like Benderson, Jessie Biter and William Merrill III to control City of Sarasota Government.
Brunnie's led ZEM Organization
In 2022 the agreement between the Sarasota REC and SDEC was fractured when Trump conservative grassroots organizers led by Connie Brunni elected Republican conservative Tim Enos, Robyn Marinelli and Bridget Ziegler to the Sarasota County School Board.

That change in the agreement was a major displeasure to the establishment social elite political powerful multi-million-dollar Foundations, (who hang out at Selby Gardens' Tara by the Bay), Neal and the Sarasota Herald Tribune. All desiring to bring back the demonic backroom deal.
In 2024 the unwritten agreement between the establishment led SREC and SDEC in that Brill stays out the fray for School Board and City Commission elections and Kuether stays free of County wide political contests was back in operation.
Just take a look at the 2024 election cycle and do you observed that there are no Democrats running for any of the Sarasota County wide positions other than for years the SDEC titular leader, Barabara Ford-Coates for Sarasota County Tax Collector.
Robinson
As there are no UNI Party Democrats running for County-wide races there are no Republicans running for City Commission positions except the UNI PARTY Eric Arroyo, who goes along to get along with the other Democrats on the Commission with RINO Christine Robinson out of the Argus Foundation running City Hall.
In regard to the recent Sarasota County School Board there is no doubt how the establishment UNI Party REC under Brill’s leadership handed over to the Sarasota County School Board positions to two left-wing radical socialists.
Christine Robinson's husband Eric "The Prince of Dirty Dark Money" Robinson is the Chairman of countless Pedinicin PAC and LLC..
Just observe how the establishment UNI Party REC under Brill’s leadership sat on their hands allowing two of the most left-wing radical Democrat School Board candidates to take out Republican conservative’s candidate’s.
Incredible, Brill cancelled REC meetings in June and July before the August 20 election, while the DEC meetings were ongoing. The activity at REC headquarters was nowhere the activity going on at DEC headquarters.
There was absolutely no Get Out the Vote (GOTV) initiated by Brill and all the precincts in the City of Sarasota were near abandoned to Democrats on election Day.
The left-wing radical socialist Democrats candidates Edwards and Barker political signs flooded the precincts north of Bee Ridge Road, while signs for Republican candidates were if placed at all not more than three or four. All of those precincts had assigned DEC volunteers set up in tents promoting Edwards and Barker with no such activity initiated by Brill.
There was no phone banks set up by Brill during the campaign to get Republicans out to vote, especially on election day to get those Republicans voters out to vote. If there was, how is it that the turnout was only 6%.? The 6% turn out on election day was a disgrace, which was when Republicans traditionally turn out to vote.
The opposite was the case with Democrats GOTV, who knocked on doors made phone calls to get Republicans out to vote before the election and on the day of the election.
Brill prides himself in how there is a huge difference in registered Republicans and registered Democrats in Sarasota County, but what good is that advantage if you don’t get those Republican out to vote.
The 30% over-all voter turnout with a 6% turn out on election day was a total disgrace to Brill’s not putting together effective GOTV activities.
Rose
Democratic Party turnout was 42%, with no state or national offices on the ballot. Republican turnout was just 35%. Had the two sides turned out in equal numbers and vote as expected, that would have cost Barker about 7,000 votes-- and a LAND SIDE ELECTION VICTORY FOR KAREN ROSE.
A similar outcome in the Edwards race for School Board. 7,000 votes split between Republicans Thomas Baciz and Greg Wood would have keep Edwards under 50% and a possible clear victorry for Babciz or Wood.
This is not the first time Brill has shown a disgraceful political ineptnes in putting forth efffective GOTV campaigns. For example, in 2023 two Democrat candidates defeated two Republican candidates for the Venice City Council in campaign managed by Brill and equally inept grassroots organizer Alice Rothbauer appointed by Brill.
Another major factor other than Brill's political ineptness of two left-wing radical socialists’ candidates getting elected was the friction existing between Sarasota America First organizations and Brill’s establishment REC.
That friction occurring locally between America First grassroots organizers and establishment RPOF is a state-wide issue between supporters of Trump and supporters of Florida Governor DeSantis. It started back when DeSantis took on Trump for the Republican nomination for President and it continues today.
Locally in Sarasota the split between America First supporting Trump and the establishment Republicans financed by DeSantis financial supporters (Neal/Beruff/Benderson/Jensen) widen when America First organizers broke from the RPOF and formed two America First organizations.
Power
Brill with the support of RPOF Chairman Evan Power instead of allowing The America First organizations to exercise their constitutional right to form their organizations, they initiated lawsuits and other actions to take down those organizations.
Brill and Power continued to further intensified the split during the closing days of the August Primary election by not taking action against Pedicini putting together a fake $545,000 voters’ guide.
The Pedicini voter guides were put out state wide, which included Sarasota and Manatee Counties falsely stating that DeSantis and Trump supported establishment Republican candidates.
The split between the America First and Brill’s led REC turned ugly when early voting began up until election day between the two groups gather at the Fruitville Library and other locations in Gulf Gate, Venice and Northport.
Brill lost complete control of the Republican Primary actions and chaos consumed the Republican efforts, while the local Democrat efforts were well organized leading to the election of two left-wing radical socialist candidate’s Barker and Edwards to the Sarasota School Board.
Can there be any doubt that Brill’s inept leadership exemplifies that the back door agreement between the REC and DEC was executed according to their diabolic plan?
Ask the simple question; are there any Democrats running County wide and all there any Republicans except the UNI Party Arroyo running for City of Sarasota Commissioner,
Most significally there are now two left-wing radical socialist Democrats now sitting "on the inside" of the Sarasota County School Board endorsed by EQUALITY FLORIDA Lesbian/Gay/Bi -sexual/Transgender/Queer (LGBTQ) organization, as chaos and mayhem continues at School Board meetings.
