I am Jon Susce the Publisher of Sarasota Phoenix Media Inc. We are currently being sued by a political operative Anthony Pedicini. Pedicini is using the legal system with "lawfare" tactics to damage or delegitimize Jon Susce and the Sarasota Phoenix. They are wasting their time and money. In using lawfare tactics, Pedicini has access to the $ millions from Pedicini PACs and LLCs and from the Florida Republican establishment centered in Tallahassee. This is a standard tactic deployed to damage or delegitimize their opponents. Mr. Susce and the Sarasota Phoenix needs these vital funds to continue to take on the likes of Pedicini and this lawfare lawsuit.Pedicin/Dosev/Andrade

PEDICINI’S ATTORNEY ANDRADE TAKES OUT AMERICA FIRST CANDIDATES AS PEDICINI WORKS HIS ”MAGIC” FOR DEMOCRATS AND “PAY TO PLAY” DEVELOPERS
The Florida Republican State Representative Alex Andrede is a prime example of how Anthony Pedicini uses funds from the establishment control Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) to take out America First Trump conservative candidates.
Andrade is one of Pedicini's handpicked candidates, who purports to be Trump Conservatives, but in the past have taken out true legitimate Trump America First Conservative candidates funded by multimillion establishment donors to elect establishment candidates like Andrade.
Pedicini and Van Ostenbridge
Andrade is also the attorney for the Republican Florida establishment political operative Pedicini, who is presently engaged as the attorney for Pedicini and former Manatee County Commissioner Kevin Van Ostenbridge in taking out Pedicini’s distractors in frivolous lawfare lawsuits.

According to the Florida Trident, Pedicini has received more than $35 million from state political candidates and political committees since February 2020, which includes $6.1 million from the Florida House Republican Campaign Committee.

In 2020, the Castor and Cruz "associate" Pedicini was Andrade political operative in a Republican primary for Florida House District 2. Andrade was opposed by Chris Dosev, who is an America First conservative Republican, a USMC Combat Veteran, a Pro-life father of 8, a President Trump supporter, a small business owner, and a defender of the 2nd amendment.
Dosev is a retired United States Marine officer, who upon graduation from the University of Florida, Dosev was commissioned a U.S Marine Officer.

In 1994, Dosev entered the civilian world and began a 20-year career as a real estate developer and small business owner completing multiple residential and commercial projects. Chris and his wife Lisa have been married for 30 years. They have three sons and five daughters.

Andrade with his wife and two dogs
Andrede having no way the resume that Dosev had accumulated concerning Dosev military background, strong family values and restoring a strong national defense , thousands of dollars poured into Andrade's campaign from multimillion dollar Republican establishment donors
Those thousands in campaign contributions to Andrede were utilized by Andrade's political consultant and hit man out of Tampa and Jensen Beach, Anthony Pedicini.
The Pedicini client, Andrade received $32,800 in the Republican primary from the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF), in supporting Andrade against Dosey. The RPOF Loyalty Oath in supporting one Republican over another Republican in a primary was violated.
Thousands of dollars in numerous hit pieces mailers and tv and radio ads were sent out attacking Dosev from Pedicini's firm, SIMWINS.

The Millner’s are long time connected to Pedicini and his numerous PAC AND LLC transferring dark dirty PAC money to Pedicini from their office in Jensen Beach.
The Millner’s move hundreds of thousands of dollars from a P.O Box in Stuart and then from there to their office in Jensen Beach and then on the Pedicini’s office in Tampa’s Ybor City .
For example, in the Andrade/Desov campaign the $39,200 to the Andrade campaign against fellow Republican Dosev from the RPOF was wired transferred to Debbie Millner, who was Andrade's campaign treasurer located at the Jensen Beach, Florida, which is over 575 miles from Andrade district in Pensacola.
Millner then wired transferred Andrade campaign funds cross state to Pedicini (SIMWINS) in Tampa where Pedicini sent out eight Andrade vicious attack adds financed by the RPOF to voters in Pensacola.
Schorsch
In Dosev campaign against Andrade there are four articles in FLORIDA POLITICS attacking Dosev and praising Andrade by the Publisher of FLORIDA POLIICS, Peter Schorsch, which were coordinated with Pedicini attacks on Dosev.
SEVEN $1,000 DISBURSEMENTS FROM GAETZ PAC TO SCHORSCH
Seven $1,000 disbursements from a PAC connected to a political Republican establishment running the Panhandle went to a PAC called Extensive Enterprises, which is a Schorsch company, adds fire to those allegations.
Schorsch has a long history of allegedly being paid off by politicians to run favorable articles and attack pieces attacking their opponents. Schorsch has a history of scheming to defraud and grand theft in connection with campaigns. Most Arrests for a Political Operative 2006 | Peter Schorsch | People, Places & Politics | Tampa
In 2018, the establishment Republican political operative, Pedicini has also funneled dark PAC money from the Milner’s in Jensen Beach to his office in Ybor City to elect Manatee County Commissioners, who are deep in the pocket Pay to Play developers.
MILNERS ALSO LAUNDERS NEAL AND BERUFF MONEYOUT OF JENSEN BEACH TO PEDICINI IN TAMPA
Pedicini not only laundered money for Andrade to take out Dorsey out of Jensen Beach, Pedicini also laundered money out of Jensen Beach to elect Manatee County Commissioners stiffed in “Pay to Play” developers.
Beruff
For example, in the 2022 Manatee County Commission elections when Pay to Play” developer Carlos Beruff stuffed Manatee County Commissioners in his pocket, Beruff sent contributions totaling $160,000 of "Dark Soft Money" from five of his LLC to a 2785 P.O. Box in Stuart, Florida.
The P.O. Box is the address for a Pedicini and Michael Millner managed $10.9 million PAC, named Citizens Alliance for Florida's Economy.
Neal
Pat Neal sent $111,000 to the same P.O Box in Stuart that Beruff sent $160,000, which included $46,000 from a Neal Dark Money LLC and $15,000 from Mike Neal. Those Beruff and Neal contributions sent to that P.O. Box in Stuart total $271,000 with $205, 000 in "Dark Soft Money."
On 2/1/2022, Pedicini or Milner moved $120,000 of $10.9 million they picked up at the P.O. Box in Stuart for the Citizens Alliance for Florida Economy PAC they manage in Jensen Beach. They moved that $120,000 to the Keeping Florida Great PAC they managed at 2055 W. Diamond Creek Way in Jensen Beach.
On 8/11/2022 another $145,000 was sent from that P.O. Box of the Citizens Alliance for Florida Economy PAC to the Keeping Florida Great PAC at 2055 W. Diamond Creek Way in Jensen Beach. Also, during 2022, $472,000 was moved from that P.O. Box in Stuart to Pedicini's, SIMWINS LLC at 1509 E. 9th Street in Tampa.
It doesn't take a political operative to understand what was going on with Pedicini moving money from one PAC to another PAC and LLC to take out an American First candidate Dosev with an establishment candidate Andrade or stuffing seven Manatee County commissioners into “Pay to Play” developers’ pockets.
