One race I will be watching closely from Florida
Florida-18. It's R+5.
The current rep is Mast (R-sucks)
One of the people running against him in the primary is Dave Cummings (Gun Nut). But, Cummings is also extremely pro-environment (for a republican he's practically a tree hugger)
He is concerned about state or federal government not having effectively addressed the toxic algae dumps which have turned the waterways black, killing fish, birds, dozens of manatees, and damaging fragile ecosystems in our estuaries.
"The last dump destroyed the summer tourist season by closing our beaches and harming the economy, yet our current congressman has done nothing to prevent the next incident. " (current congressman being Mast)
According to a few places that have written on Cummings, he seems actually sincere and doesn't see the solution as being drill for oil and wipe out endangered and threatened species.
I think I want him to lose because I think his voters are the ones the Democratic candidate has the best chance of picking up, or at the very least, not voting in the GE for either.
I don't think Mast voters, were he to lose to Cummins, would vote for the Democrat since Mast is more reichwing than Cummins
Thoughts by anyone from Florida on this race
