Clueless Perry Thurston Campaigning For Wrong Office

Leave a reply

  Once again, Democrat Perry Thurston shows why he runs the worst political campaigns in Broward. First, REDBROWARD detailed Thurston’s violation of the Florida Constitution by living outside his Florida House District. His campaigns are repeatedly audited by the Florida Division of Elections. Last year, REDBROWARD exposed how Thurston paid family members with campaign funds. We thought we had seen it all from the Thurston campaign.

We were wrong.

This week, Thurston emailed invitations for a baseball themed fundraiser at a local Elks Lodge.  The “Thurston AAA Baseball Tournamet Kick Off Reception” is set for Thursday April 14 at 6PM. The email was paid for and approved by the Perry E. Thurston, Jr. Democrat for Attorney General campaign.

Just one problem: Perry Thurston is not running for Attorney General. He ran for that office in 2014. He lost badly.

He’s currently seeking the Florida State Senate District 33 seat.

The Davie Democrat running against Lauren Book for the Florida Senate District 33 seat is a huge supporter of Republican Presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson. Emmanuel Say Blimie filed his campaign paperwork last week. Book, a children’s rights advocate, is the overwhelming favorite in the SD 33 race.

The Liberian-born Blimie, a Nova Southeastern student, is an an author. According to his Amazon.com page, Blimie “continuously canvassed, advocated issues that were important to Broward County and the Democratic ticket including the legalization of marijuana for medical purposes. Emmanuel landed hands to the campaigns of Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Charlie Crist. He also sway voters to vote for Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Bill Nelson.” However, Blimie’s time with the Crist campaign was short-lived.

Commenting on a November 2014 Tampa Bay Times story, Blimie wrote, ” I canvassed and then ceased two weeks into it. And my reason, voters were disengaged so badly that they wished there was an independent alternative…”

Nine months ago, Blimie was posting comments on the campaign website for Republican Presidential candidate Ben Carson. Blimie wrote, “My mission is, to win hearts and help elect Dr. Carson for President within my turf. I am a registered NPA and an a author. More on me at http://www.amazon.com/author/blimie.” Blimie used his work on the Obama campaign to impress Carson supporters.

“I canvassed for Obama in Florida and my turf ranked within the top for canvassing-door knocking, voter registration, phone calls and turnouts. I am talking about Broward County, Florida,” Blimie wrote. “Should you need a Field Organizer, or other aids in South Florida count me in.”
