Rep. Gaetz gets another challenger with Peggy Schiller
WUWF (NPR affiliate) ^ | January 24, 2022 | Dave Dunwoody

Amid the sex-trafficking investigation of Congressman Matt Gaetz, who has not been charged and denies any wrongdoing, the 2022 campaign for his House seat is gearing up, with the addition of another Democratic candidate.

Democrat Peggy Schiller worked as a corporate litigator in New York City for several years and lived in Atlanta before moving to Santa Rosa Beach in 2018. What she saw when she arrived there shocked her.

“Our congressman had been John Lewis in Atlanta, and here it was Matt Gaetz. I never thought of running until moved here,” Schiller said. “Because I think the people of the First District deserve someone who is interested in representing them — not just having a comedy club routine and clearly just trying to make himself famous.”

Schiller wants to, in her words, bring back integrity and dignity to the District 1 seat. To that end, her platform includes protecting the area’s natural resources. She believes economics and the environment go hand-in-hand.

“And I think good environmental policy is good business policy for the district,” she said. “We rely so heavily on a beautiful coastline and our warm temperatures and our areas. And we have to get control of the environment and the climate to be able to do that.”

Affordable housing is another issue that affects not only the First District and Florida but also the entire nation. Schiller says the crisis is forcing people into homelessness, despite many of them having a job and money.

Ignore the obvious slant of the article. We could have New York/Urban Atlanta values being imposed on Pensacola if she ultimately prevails.

Because when their landlord decides to upgrade their property to take advantage of the high housing market, they’re asked to leave and there’s nowhere to go that they can afford,”

If anyone gets a chance can she be asked how she feels about NY Hesge Funds, like Blackrock, buying up every house they can to turn the country into one giant rental property? Or how about foreign investors and equity firms doing the same thing to the houses that Blackrock doesn’t buy? Or about the companies, as I saw just the other day in Grayson, Ga, that are slamming up townhomes, and the like, that are one big rental community. All soon to be destroyed by their Section 8 tenants.

Gaetz will win by a big margin. The people who live in the peninsula may get fooled by NYC values but not the pandhandle folks.

That idiotic statement sums up liberal lunacy in a nutshell. Control the environment and the climate by telling Gaia we’re sorry and we beg forgiveness.

It seems that in every corner of our land, the People are crying out for far-left, “progressive” candidates to come and free them from white supremacy and the crushing yoke of capitalism.

Somehow even in modern panhandle Florida I don’t think a shrill Carpetbagger from NYC is going to make much of a dent politically.

Thin New Yawk lawyeress thinks she knows what’s good for Gaetz’s district after moving there in 2018.

She should be laughed out of the room.

I visited with an old buddy from the Atlanta burbs about a week ago when I was down there. Grayton Beach.

He had his wife will offset this harpy. They’re all about teaching transplants to not foul their new nest. They’re glad to have Matt.
