Broward Young Democrats Clueless About Its Local Candidate Endorsements

Clueless Broward Young Democrats

While they perfected a pro-Chinese message on the Fourth of July, the Broward Young Democrats (BYD) seem clueless about their endorsements of local candidates. As REDBROWARD earlier this week, the BYDs social media account delivered an anti-American message on Independence Day. When a lone young Broward Democrat objected to the “devisive” messages, several young Broward Democrats pounced with more virulent anti-American screeds.

Now, it appears the BYDs incompetence extends beyond American history, political science and economics. In a Facebook post touting the BYD Convention next week, the next generation of Broward Democrat leadership cannot even figure out which candidates are running for which seat!

Under “BYD Endorsed Candidates,” the group backs Jasmen Rogers-Shaw as its pick in the Florida House District 93 seat. Just one problem, Rogers-Shaw is not running in the District 93 race. Kinda Thompson Gonzalez is the Democrat sacrificial lamb running against Republican Chip LaMarca, the strong District 93 incumbent.

Jasmen Rogers-Shaw, who recently revealed she contracted COVID-19, is running in the District 95 race. This district covers Lauderhill, Lauderdale Lakes and other parts of central Broward. Democrat Anika Omphroy is the current District 95 representative.

According to the graphic, the BYDs endorsed Shevrin Jones in the Florida House District 101 race.

Just one problem. Shevrin Jones is NOT running in the District 101 race. Due to term limits, Jones is a heavy favorite to win a seat in the Florida Senate.

Joe Kimok wants to legalize drugs

When it comes to the Broward State Attorney race, the Broward Young Democrats cannot even make an endorsement. Instead the chose Harold Pryor, Joshua Rydell and uber-leftie Joe Kimok as their “Candidates of Distinction.”

How does the BYD back a challenger over an incumbent Democrat?

How do the BYDs not know it’s most popular elected official is running for a Senate seat?

Maybe they’re spending too much time researching Chinese ketchup?

Commission Candidate Khurrum Wahid Wants To “Change” Coral Springs Into “Progressive” City

Commission candidate Khurrum Wahid wants to turn Coral Springs into a “progressive” city. Wahid is running for seat 2 on the Coral Springs commission in June. Wahid, an attorney, is the founder of the Emgage political action committee. He spoke to the Broward Young Democrats on Monday.

Wahid wanted to continue the “change” platform started by mayoral candidate Nancy Metayer, a member of the progressive New Leaders Council of Broward (NLC). She lost her March 2019 election to Democrat Scott Brook but finished ahead of Republican Vince Boccard. Wahid called Metayer’s support of his campaign “the best endorsement.”

Here’s what Wahid said last night. Is this the kind of change Coral Springs residents want from their leaders? What does Wahid want to change?

“We can make history. We can change the City of Coral Springs and continue the work Nancy [Metayer] started and you’re all supporting.

Nancy endorsed me yesterday and it’s the best endorsement I’ve gotten so far.

A lot of folks are very excited about this campaign because we’re going to move Coral Springs–more progressive, more in a way that is going to give us all more of a voice, better opportunity.

This is a diverse city and it has to start looking more diverse in its leadership. It has to start speaking to those voices that are currently not being heard.”
