Catalina called our campaign’s grassroots support a “lie.” So let’s look at the actual Florida Division of Elections numbers. I gathered 2,776 verified petition signatures and qualified for the ballot. 1,726 came from Collier County. 726 came from Lee County. That means nearly 88% of my support came directly from Southwest Florida voters in FL-19. Catalina currently has 203 verified signatures total. Read that again. 203. This race is exposing the difference between a grassroots movement and an establishment-funded social media campaign. I earned my place on the ballot from real people. Not lobbyists. Not consultants. Not D.C. donor networks. It turns out, John Strand is the People’s choice for Florida-19.
