Far-Left Outsiders Still Funding Takeover Coral Springs Commission

Leave a reply

Nancy Metayer’s latest run for a seat on the Coral Springs city commission is overwhelmingly fueled with contributions from progressives who do not live in the City of Coral Springs, records show. Metayer, a young “climate justice organizer,” is running for Seat 3 against four other candidates. In 2019, Metayer came in a close second for the race to be Mayor. Both campaigns were primarily funded by far-left groups and local politicians.

Metayer’s 2019 mayoral campaign received numerous contributions from progressive groups like Common Voices, Alliance For A Better Community, FLIC Votes, SEIU and Ruth’s List. None of these groups are located in Coral Springs. Metayer had the support of controversial politicians like Broward Dale Holness, Tamarac Commissioner Mike Gelin and Hallandale Beach Vice Mayor Sabrina Javellana.

According to Metayer’s campaign reports, only 30 contributions came from Coral Springs. Over 90% of her 304 contributions were made from people and groups from outside Coral Springs city limits.

In a stark contrast, Metayer was defeated by Scott Brook who received 53 percent of his campaign contributions from Coral Springs residents.

The numbers for Nancy Metayer’s 2020 campaign are similar. As of August 2020, Metayer reports 515 contributions to her city commission campaign. Just 63 contributions come from Coral Springs residents. Outsider contributions make up nearly 86% of Nancy Metayer’s support.

Metayer received contributions from Tamarac Commissioner Marlon Bolton and Plantation Councilwoman Denise Horland. She received campaign support from failed Broward State Attorney Joe Kimok, who wanted to decriminalize hard drugs.

Metayer received funding from Dwight Bullard and the New Florida Majority political committee which is conducting operations in support of Joe Biden and the Democrats. She received contributions from Ithohan “Stephanie” Ighodaro whose “Hard Knock Strategies” received $6 million dollars from George Soros’ Win Justice PAC.

Metayer received numerous contributions from politicians calling for defund of the police like Hallandale Beach Vice Mayor Sabrina Javellana and Mike Gelin of Tamarac.

Metayer received support from Jasmen Rogers-Shaw, a founder of the local Black Lives Matter (BLM). Metayer attended several BLM/Dream Defenders protests this summer.

But Metayer is not the only Coral Springs candidate with backing from the far left.

STACKING THE CORAL SPRINGS COMMISSION

In 2018, Joshua Simmons, a Broward school teacher, beat incumbent Coral Springs Commissioner Lou Cimaglia. Despite being a political novice, Simmons managed to collect nearly $32,000 in campaign contributions. Simmons received contributions from MoveOn.org, Emerge (Emgage), and Latino Victory US. Simmons had the financial support of politicians like Rep Alcee Hastings (D-FL), Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Maryland), Broward School Board Member Rosalind Osgood, and Broward County Commissioner Dale Holness.

None of these politicians represent the City of Coral Springs.

According to the reports, more than 75% of Josh Simmons’ campaign contributions came from outside the City of Coral Springs.

Simmons used Holness Consulting, a company owned by Damara Holness, as his campaign consultant.

In the 2019 City Commission race, candidate Khurrum Wahid showed numbers similar to Nancy Metayer. For the June 18, 2019 seat 2 election, Khurrum Wahid reported 202 total contributions. Only 21 of the contributions came from Coral Springs. Ninety percent (181) of Wahid’s contributions were made by entities outside Coral Springs.

Why are progressive groups and outside interests flooding Coral Springs elections with money? What do they want in return? What happens to the Coral Springs Police Department if Simmons and Metayer try to “defund the police?”

“Incident Of 9/11?” Coral Springs Candidate Khurrum Wahid Said “Our Faith…Really Is The Best Thing For Americans”

In an interview with a Pakistani television program at the 2011 Islamic Society Of North America (ISNA) Convention, Coral Springs City Commission candidate Khurrum Wahid casually refers to the horrific attacks of September 11, 2001 as “the incident of 9/11.” When the Pakistani-born lawyer is asked about the purpose of his Emerge USA/Emgage political committee, Wahid said they need to encourage young people to run for office to show, “[T]hat our faith, when put into action, really is the best thing for Americans as well.”

This is not the first time religion has become an issue in the Commission Seat 2 race.

On Friday, REDBROWARD reported how one of Wahid’s opponents used a Sunday sermon to address a political problem plaguing the campaign. Pastor Randal Cutter of the New Dawn Community Church tried to address concerns over his 1999 dreams about a hurricane. In a television interview at the time, Cutter claimed God used these dreams to warn people about Hurricane Irene. In his June 9, 2019 sermon, Cutter claimed if residents knew about the dreams it would help his campaign. Cutter said voters may think he has an “edge with God” that his opponents lack.

“We have a tendency to say, my God it’s better to have one of him than a whole bunch of those other people,” Cutter said. “Because they would be thinking maybe he has an edge with God.”

The election will be held this Tuesday.

”Edge With God?” Coral Springs Candidate Randal Cutter Responds To Hurricane Issue In Sermon, Makes Matters Worse?

Leave a reply

Back in 1999, Pastor Randal Cutter claimed God gave him visions of a hurricane which would devastate South Florida. In 2019, Coral Springs City Commission candidate Randal Cutter knew his hurricane dreams would lead to a political storm. Yesterday, REDBROWARD reported how Cutter’s 1999 appearance on WPTV NBC 5 was being shared amongst Coral Springs voters. In an attempt to address the concerns about his well-publicized dreams, Cutter made the controversy the subject matter of his sermon last Sunday at the New Dawn Community Church.

After the REDBROWARD story was published, a Cutter campaign supporter informed us last Sunday’s sermon was added to a video clip of Pastor Cutter’s 1999 television interview.

The eight minute clip shows Cutter explaining how the Hurricane Irene dreams issue was a positive for the church. He said it was a “supernatural” act in an “age of anti-supernatural” thinking. He paraphrased author C.S. Lewis, who said Satan tricks people to deny the supernatural. Cutter said people become “magicians” who reject God’s supernatural acts.

Cutter said it was, “certainly an obvious thing that did happen.” Cutter said his appearance, “got a lot of advertisement in the community.” Cutter said the visions were, “one of the historical things God has done for this congregation.”

Regardless of your view of Cutter’s visions, his sermon appears to be the standard stuff found in many churches.

But he did not stop there.

For some reason, Cutter repeatedly mentions how he shared his Hurricane Irene television appearance with local Jewish rabbis. When discussing his visit to a Weston temple, Cutter Tells his congregation, if you “want to see people trained at a high level…look to the rabbis.”

In an effort of “full disclosure,” Cutter says he shared his Hurricane Irene story with a Coral Springs rabbi. He said when the rabbi asked him to join a City multicultural committee, he told him he was the kind of guy to went on television to talk about visions from God about hurricanes.

Cutter said the rabbi only asked if he asked for money during the interview. Cutter said he did not ask for money. The rabbi said it was good that Cutter did not exploit the visions for personal gain.

(Cutter makes no mention of a book he wrote about his hurricane visions.)

But Cutter does claim he would never exploit the Hurricane Irene visions for political gain because it would be “wrong.” Stunningly Cutter tells his congregation:

It would be wrong to exploit while running for office. But there’s whole constituencies in Coral Springs that if they knew about this. We have a tendency to say, my God it’s better to have one of him than a whole bunch of those other people! Because they would be thinking maybe he has an edge with God.

Umm. Who are “those other people?”

Does Randal Cutter think he has an “edge with God” that his opponents lack?

Some may be quick to claim Cutter is referring to Khurrum Wahid, one of his five opponents, who is the legal advisor to the Council On American Islamic Relations (CAIR). This is doubtful since Cutter regularly appears with local Imams and other leaders. In 2017, the Miami Herald showed Cutter attending a CAIR rally at Wahid’s mosque in Sunrise.

“When you see an attack against one community, it has to be viewed as an attack against all communities,” said Randal Cutter, a pastor at New Dawn Community Church in Coral Springs.
