Prominent leaders endorse David Arreola for State Representative
Press release from David Arreola for Florida House District 22
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – After being endorsed by numerous prominent elected leaders, Democratic candidate for Florida House District 22 and former two-term Gainesville City Commissioner David Arreola released the following statement:
“At a time when our communities’ freedom to determine their futures is under attack from MAGA Republicans in Tallahassee, I am proud to be endorsed by strong local leaders like former Gainesville Mayor Lauren Poe, Gainesville City Commissioners Casey Willits and Bryan Eastman, former Gainesville City Commissioners Helen Warren and Adrian Hayes-Santos, Hawthorne Mayor Jacquelyn Randall, and Chiefland City Commissioner LaWanda Jones.
“With the backing of these powerful community leaders, I look forward to serving alongside Representative Yvonne Hayes Hinson and continuing the legacy of outgoing Representative Joe Geller, both of whom have endorsed my candidacy. As our campaign to flip Florida House District 22 ramps up, I am humbled to earn their support.”
In support of David Arreola’s campaign to represent Florida House District 22, elected officials provided the following statements:
“With his long history of public service and proven progressive track record, former two-term Gainesville City Commissioner David Arreola is the strongest Democratic candidate to flip Florida House District 22 blue this November. Winning House District 22 is critical for holding Governor Ron DeSantis and the MAGA Republican legislature accountable for their political extremism and restoring decency to Tallahassee. Unlike his far-right opponents, David shares our community’s commitment to advancing common-sense gun safety reform, making Florida affordable, and defending reproductive freedom. In the race for state representative in House District 22, David Arreola has earned my full support and he deserves your vote.” – Representative Yvonne Hayes Hinson
“David Arreola is a dedicated public servant committed to the issues that matter most to the residents of House District 22: public health and safety, reproductive rights, and an economy that works for everybody. David’s experience on the Gainesville City Commission has shown that he is in touch with the real issues facing Florida voters, and he is ready to take action and make a change.” – Former Gainesville Mayor Lauren Poe
“After serving years on the Gainesville City Commission with David Arreola, I enthusiastically endorse him to represent the people of Florida House District 22. I know that he will confront our state’s most pressing issues as an informed representative and work to advance our community’s shared values.” – Former Gainesville City Commissioner Helen Warren
Prominent?! LOL, they are all political cracker jacks that seemw to lie, cheat, and steal, not to mention not listen to those the constituents. rather, they listen to those that receive funding from the city or to only know ho are part of the organizations. I am so tired of the ignorant hoopla of the city commission past and present! It’s funny that the majority are former and current commissioners, and then let us not forget the state rep who seems to not care about the eastside she represents but rather, again, those organizations. She has yet to visit this community to do any door-to-door to ask questions of the constituents. Oh and she was part of the commission at a point in time or was it two?
“commitment to advancing common-sense gun safety reform, making Florida affordable, and defending reproductive freedom.”
Gun control, print money, abort the babies…that’s a hell of a platform.
“Gun control, print money, abort the babies…that’s a hell of a platform.” The 1st and last definitely are and “making Florida affordable” are all popular with Republicans and Democrats nationally and in Florida. This guy is unfortunately not the best messenger.
Yeah, actually you are right. I’d go with that strategy for sure.
The quicker the citizens of Gainesville can rid themselves of the cancer that was our former city commission, the better. Lauren Poe and his ilk have cost this city billions, with nothing to show for it except increased crime and lawlessness.
Yep.
Nope
Is he still Andrew Gillum’s “little buddy?” Why no endorsement from him?
Is it smoke weed and kill babies or kill babies and smoke weed?
Don’t bring an innocent plant into this man made mess
He is just another woke politician who brought the city down as a city commissioner and Poe flunkie. He was a failed candidate for mayor. He could make a better claim then Fatboy Ward to be mayor in a woke city. His platforms is running on the poor economic people’s backs. Nothing more than another quack Democrat who shows his true colors ridden a city of single family dwellings, unaffordable new energy ideas, and pushing sanctuary city views and misguided gun control measures. He despises anything Republican. No thank you.
Prominent Leaders? Gainesville? You can thank Bar Hopping, Block Party Dave for Gainesville’s Crime Wave epidemic, homelessness chaos, and lawlessness. The Losers endorsing him says it all.
It takes a lot to top the level of humor in one of Jake’s cartoons. But I believe this fellow has done it.
I’m a Democrat. I voted for him on his first run as cc. But when the st Michael’s rezoning came up he totally dismissed the wishes of his area. Voted against his constituents. I would never vote for him again as his campaign dialogue doesn’t match his actions.
Thanks for not being a sheep and using your own common sense.
I love good comedy..!
Thanks for giving me something to laugh at today….
He’s got a greater chance of being invited to dinner at Mar a lago.
“Prominent leaders?” 🤣🤣
More like a collection of idiots. I have a difficult time believing anything David “sucking on an Arreola” says. Poe’s been as quiet as a mouse since he lost both his jobs. “I’m Easy” Eastman and Willets “the Weasel” round out the gang of 3 clowns masquerading as leaders who need to be run out of town.
Helen Warren is another fruit basket who needs to go away. She’s about 50 cards short of a full deck.
All of you voters take heed, Arreola is a cause of the financial and crime ridden crisis the city is in now.
You’ve been warned.
At least they had the good sense not to publish a photo of the swarthy stick-boy with his Michael Landon bouffant and mutant patch of grey (with or without the cheesy $3 aviator sunglasses).
Let’s get that Andrew Gillum endorsement, guys! It’s REALLY important!!!
NO.
He is responsible for destroying GRU, he’s endorsed by the other communists that have destroyed this once great city and now he wants the vote of the peoples lives that he has destroyed? WTF are really wrong with these people. The only attack on democracy that I see us Biden using his DOJ to illegaly take half of America’s vote away. That us the true assault on America Mr Arreola and you apart of the Soviet Union Biden has created
If those are the most “prominent” endorsements he’s able to gain, shouldn’t have much to worry about. Only a fool would put any value in those endorsements.
Then again, if those are the most prominent people Democrats take their marching orders from and follow, is it any wonder the city and county are in for a dismal future. Scary.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
💩👹🤡🍦🍦🍦DNC
He helped to ruin Gainesville now he wants to destroy the whole State. Just say no!
LOL
Why no prominent elected officials from the western part of District 22?
lol I don’t know who is more of a clown- Arreola or Poe.
A much better choice for Dist 22: Raemi Eagle-Glenn! https://raemiforflorida.com/
all the more reason to vote for whoever’s running against him.. 😉
You don’t want Arreola.
