Candidates for U.S. House: Comments

Question: What influenced your choice?

Her knowledge and understanding what is needed

She's got the dedication and spunk.

Her dedicated efforts locally

The best candidate.

Enthusiastic, integrity, education

There are enough democrats in Duval county to beat Rutherford. We need to analyze who has the fortitude and foresight to go after his record and garner enough crossover vote to do it.

She's a powerhouse and I think she's got everything it takes (except for enough money) to beat Rutherford!

Maybe SHE can beat Rutherford.

I do not know much about Rachel Grage and am looking forward to hearing what she has to say at the May IM meeting. Mark Heggestad, who was at an IM meeting a few months ago, is a very nice man and seems to be honest, but I don't really know much about him to 100% support his candidacy. SOMEBODY has to kick Rutherford out of office, as he is USELESS!!!

Hard worker and deep commitment

She has a terrible message but is only one out there campaigning- can't win- should be talking about SS bankruptcy

Mr. Hazen is knowledgeable about Florida issues and the needs of Floridians and he is kind

Don't know anything about any of them.

The best choice, and I know she has integrity

I believe I met him after a meeting at the San Pablo Public Library, and I appreciate that he is showing up to such events to listen & learn from voters in the district.

Both he and Hazen have been out with the protesters. I’m undecided on which of the 2 is d pick

RUTHERFORD IS A MAGA COWARD

Rachel will represent all of us!

Grage has best ground game thus far and I think she's well qualified. Needs to get more coverage however.

She’s not in it for the money.

Rachel Grage is the strongest and most viable candidate, has experience running for office,

and has what it takes to defeat R.

Her passion to represent the district.

Please let her unseat John Rutherford

I don’t know anything about any of them,

Too soon, I don’t know anything about the dems running.

Still researching

She’s the only candidate I’m even mildly familiar with. They need to step up their game

She has name recognition and experience—has run before.

She is a refreshing choice, definitely smart she is a bio engineer. And an advocate for Mother Earth

She seems the most viable candidate the most well organized and highest name recognition. I think she stands a credible chance of beating Rutherford.

Excellent campaign messaging

I don't know any of them yet, but we need Rutherford out. He's too aligned with Trump

I'm not familiar with any of these people

Only one running a real campaign at this point

Her qualifications and passion

Her integrity.

He is honest and is doing this for us, not for himself. I trust him to be a rep who will fight for our values.

Looking forward to hear her speak and also her past record

I don't know anything about the rest.

He is the only one I heard of, if you google Rachel nothing comes up

She’s out meeting the people.

Not familiar with any of these.

Education, work, and honestly, because we need smart women in Congress.

He shows up and he is one of us.

I don't know anything about them

She believes in fairness, truth, accountability and transparency in government. She is smart, understands how the issues impact Floridians and can explain the impacts of the issues to busy working people who don't have time to delve into the mumbo jumbo

She has electability to win over a wide range of voters & she is educated

Visibility, recognition, background

Not my district but I support her

I like his passion

Rachel has been dedicated to public service and to the legislative process. She has campaigned seriously, and should lead the charge against Rutherford.
