Ravioli Ron-backed candidates lose bigly in Florida school board races

More lost than won in Tuesday’s primary elections.

Things didn’t go well Tuesday in Gov. Ron DeSantis’ attempt to push Florida’s local school boards toward his agenda.

 

Eleven of the 23 candidates he endorsed appeared to have lost their races, while six won and six headed to November runoffs.

 

The outcome for the governor’s effort was particularly poor in the Tampa Bay region, where the incumbents he targeted as being too liberal — Laura Hine and Eileen Long in Pinellas County, and Nadia Combs and Jessica Vaughn in Hillsborough County — handily won reelection.

 

Those results heartened Katie Blaxberg, another Pinellas County candidate headed for a November runoff against a DeSantis-endorsed candidate.

 

“Pinellas said no to Moms for Liberty,” Blaxberg said, noting that many of the hopefuls DeSantis backed also had support of the conservative organization behind school book censorship and the eradication of diversity and inclusion initiatives.

 

In other parts of the state, Sarasota County incumbent Karen Rose, who had been allied with Moms for Liberty co-founder Bridget Ziegler, was ousted from her post. Two Indian River County candidates backed by DeSantis lost, as did one in Pasco County, one in Flagler County and one in St. Lucie County.

 

Two of three candidates DeSantis supported in Duval County won, as did one of two in Brevard County, with the other headed to a runoff.

Ravioli Ron has that alliteration which is nice but Meatball Ron just has a certain ja ne sais quoi that makes it ideal

 

I focus-tested the following:

 

Ravioli Ron

Ricotta Ron

Risotto Ron

 

And Ravioli Ron had the highest response rate preference.

As a member of the Italian Delegation, we do not claim Ron DeSantis and ask that this board cease any and all references to our great food as an insult towards him.

 

We ask that he be named “Potato Salad Ron”.

+1/3 vote from me (I’m not 100% Italian)
