FL Dems Launch New Ad: Trust

Kathleen Peters’s record of financial recklessness shows she can’t be trusted with our tax dollars

TALLAHASSEE, FL — The Florida Democratic Party today released a new television ad, “Trust,” highlighting Josh Shulman’s record as a businessman and his commitment to investing in our public schools, in contrast to Kathleen Peter’s history of reckless finances which show she can’t be trusted with Floridian’s tax dollars. The ad will begin airing on major television stations today. Proof and transcript below. 

“As a small businessman, Josh knows firsthand how to balance a budget and pay bills on time — and he also knows that the best way to help businesses create jobs and grow our economy is to invest in our public schools and keep class sizes small,” said Florida Democratic Party Executive Director Scott Arceneaux. “Unfortunately, Kathleen Peters has a record of fiscal recklessness which we don’t need in Tallahassee, and Peter’s past of debts and liens shows that we just can’t trust her with our tax dollars, or with our state’s future.”
