Whistleblower Rebekah Jones officially files to run for Congress

[peppertree]

Controversial whistleblower Rebekah Jones has officially filed to run for Congress.

The Democrat will work to unseat Republican Representative Matt Gaetz in District 1.

Gaetz is facing several legal scandals, including a federal investigation over whether he had a sexual relationship with an underage girl.

Gaetz, 38, denies any inappropriate relationships with minors and even claims to be the victim of an extortion scheme.

Jones, 32, a former employee with the Florida Department of Health, was fired for insubordination in 2020 in her own scandal over the state’s covid case numbers. She had announced her intent to run on social media in June.

State records show she filed the candidacy paperwork on Sept. 29.

1. That sounds wonderful, but it is surprising.

I was under the impression that she basically had to flee the state in order for the harassment to stop and that she had moved to the Northeast and was planning on running for an office up there.

I so hope that she wins and Gaetz is finally out of there and not an embarrassment to us all. The problem is the area the election will be in. It is a very red area of the state and I think there are some who live there who don't see anything wrong with the things he was doing.
