Good news! This whack job needs to just crawl back under a rock. However Gaetz would have had a better chance against her than Shiller who lives near me. Good news is Florida's 1st Congressional District covers Northwest Florida and is a Republican stronghold.
A Leon County Circuit Court Judge ruled Friday that Rebekah Jones could not stand for election as a Democrat in the primary election Aug. 23.
Leon County Circuit Court Judge John Cooper disqualified Jones as a candidate at the conclusion of a virtual hearing Friday in a lawsuit brought by her Democratic opponent for Florida's 1st Congressional District, Peggy Schiller.
"It's not a happy decision to make," Cooper said when explaining his ruling. "I think that anyone who puts themselves out for office should be commended."
A Florida election law passed last year requires anyone running for a partisan office to be registered as a member of the party for a full year before qualifying begins in June.
Jones put out a statement on her campaign's Facebook page Friday saying she would appeal the ruling.
"We're appealing immediately, and voters can rest assured that we're not going to let Peggy Schiller, her GOP lawyer or anyone else steal this election from the voters," Jones wrote.
Schiller, a retired corporate attorney who lives in Walton County and has been active in the local Democratic Party there, also issued a statement on her campaign Facebook page saying she was pleased with the ruling.
