1. Martin Hyde appears to end congressional campaign after traffic flap

He apologized to Sarasota Police Officer Julia Beskin as he signaled his campaign's collapse.

Sarasota congressional candidate Martin Hyde appears to have ended his campaign against U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan. The move comes as Hyde received national media attention over a police body cam video of his actions at a traffic stop.

In a letter published by the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, Hyde apologized for his behavior. But he also made clear he will not be pursuing a seat in the U.S. House at this point.

“I am sorry because in a democracy without congressional term limits, I have taken away the opportunity for people to make changes in a stagnant system that rewards incumbency over innovation and true local representation,” he wrote.

“I was prepared to use my limited resources to mount a congressional campaign based on equity as opposed to elitism — which is the irony of the manner of my demise.”

Hyde was stopped on Feb. 14 for speeding by Sarasota Police Officer Julia Beskin, and news spread quickly based on her ticket mentioning his behavior.

2. I thought this moran was forced to drop out - and apologize to the female officer who stopped him

And gave him citations for speeding, texting while driving and refusing to produce his registration??

3. Good Grief!

Apparently his behavior towards this female officer wasn't an aberration, he behaves this way towards everyone!
