| Lifelong Democrat Tim Canova considers himself a New Deal Progressive Democrat. He endorsed Bernie Sanders and Senator Sanders is campaigning for him, in hopes that he will defeat (resigned) DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, who is up for re-election in Florida's US Congressional District 23, in Florida's Democratic Congressional Primary - August 30th. |
WATCH THE INTERVIEW (click here)
It is apparent from Wikileaks of DNC emails that (now resigned) DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz was using the power and resources of the DNC to wage a re-election fight against Tim Canova from inside the DNC.
Rep. Wasserman-Schultz is now officially working for the Hillary Clinton campaign, amidst similar allegations that she was running a campaign against Bernie Sanders from within the DNC.
US Congressional Candidate, Tim Canova spoke with Tom Hartman about his campaign run to unseat Wasserman-Schultz in Florida District 23, which includes Broward and parts of Miami-Dade counties.
"When my campaign would line up a speaking appearance, if her campaign got wind of it, they would call up the venue and ask them not to let me speak," Canova told Thom Hartman in an interview, July 29, 2016.
"Jobs and the economy" are the top issues, said Canova. "People are hurting here. Millennials are having hard times, getting full time jobs with benefits. They are living with their parents. People, like myself are having a tough time coming out of the recession caused when the banks folded. There are serious environmental issues that are not being addressed in South Florida. We need someone who speaks for the people, not the big-donor base of the Democratic Party."

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has failed to show up at Town Hall Meetings, and refuses to debate Tim Canova. "We should not be handing these politicians a job for life," said Canova.
Wasserman-Schultz had never been challenged and she is in a "safe" Democratic Party district, which she herself helped to gerrymander when she was a Florida state lawmaker. So, without the ability to challenge her, the establishment Democratic Party voter base is able to continue to re-elect her in Florida during the "closed" Florida primaries ... This is also how Republicans are able to re-elect their candidates in "safe" Republican Party gerrymandered districts, even though the two parties each represent less than 40% of the state's voters.
Under the leadership of Wasserman-Schultz, the Democratic Party has lost 8 percent of its membership, dropping to 38% of registered voters, while the Republican Party has held steady at 36%. More people than ever, dislike both the Democrats and the Republicans, preferring to register without any party affiliation -- or fleeing to support the Libertarian or Green Party.
The Florida Congressional Primary is August 30, 2016. ACROSS THE USA, there are still a handful of states that have not yet held their primary elections. So please, vote for these candidates in upcoming primary elections.
As you can see, the Berniecrats are fighting back and winning in many states.
