Annette Taddeo

But there are other important roles to decide on, like the state's chief financial officer, for example.

Democrat Annette Taddeo is running against Republican incumbent Blaise Ngolia.

She says she believes the state is prioritizing special interests right now.

When you pass bills just to make the insurance companies happy, you're not looking out for Floridians.

hey thank you thank you all i appreciate you thanks for having me on all

right oh so our next our next guest who is coming on the show uh you know is someone who has been a long time friend who has been in the rotation before who has been a fighter uh in tallahassee who has been someone who uh we truly do appreciate And that is Senator Annette Taddeo, who is running for chief financial officer of the state of Florida.

Annette, welcome back into the rotation.

Thank you so much.

She was okay with the current Attorney General running the pack to defeat legalization on the ballot.

and all in all uh you look at the tail of the tape between these two candidates senator nixon has shown up every single year for medical cannabis patients whether it's been around worker protections or it has been around ensuring uh that adult use happens in the state of florida or protecting the parental rights of medical marijuana patients these contracts could not be more stark when it comes to these elections at the top of the ticket so again Get out there and vote.

Vote for Senator Annette Taddeo to be our next CFO.

Vote for Senator Javier Rodriguez to be our next Attorney General.

I don't know if that counts as political advertising, but I'm just repeating what was said by Patrick.

CFO Blazingoglia and Annette Taddeo.

I have really no idea which way that's going to go.

I would assume that's going to go the way the wave goes.

does make more sense, which is also what they had their margin at for Senator Ashley Moody, as well as A.G. Upmeyer.

The weird quirk in JMI's poll, though, was the result that they had on the CFO's race, which had Blaze in a neck-and-neck battle with Annette Taddeo, which it was quirky to me, but then it became more quirky when their number for the Amendment 3, which we'll talk about later, the polling on that was over 60%, which I just couldn't reconcile CFO Angolia neck-and-neck with Taddeo.

and Amendment 3 being at 60%.

Those two, and I'm not faulting JMI, I think it's something underlying in the electorate that isn't making it into the polling models that are being deployed.

Although James Uthmeyer was the point man of every important organization involved in that fiasco.

This is a 30-second ad on behalf of David Jolly, running for governor on the Democratic side, Jose Javier Rodriguez, the Democratic Attorney General nominee, and Annette Taddeo, the CFO nominee.

It names all three of them as defendants along with WFTV, Hart's Properties, Graham Media Group Orlando, Fox Television Stations, the New World Communications of Tampa, Nextar Media, Tagina East Coast Broadcasting, Scripps Broadcasting Holdings, and Ion Media License Company.

Taddeo, responding to the suit, said this.

But, uh, thank you for being with us here and letting us get a start on the Bill Mick podcast.

As we continue this story, Local 6, again, taking a look at this lawsuit that they are now a target of.

They explain in the story, the suit targets a 30-second ad paid for by the Florida Democratic Party, approved by David Jolly for governor, Jose Javier Rodriguez for attorney general, and Annette Taddeo for CFO.

The ad cites that leaked grand jury report about Hope, Florida, The News Service of Florida reporting a group of people named in the grand jury report had petitioned the First District Court of Appeal to stop the publication of the report.

When Governor Ron DeSantis signed Senate Bill 50 into law, he waited until almost midnight that night in the hopes that nobody would notice.

Anyway, Annette Taddeo voted for Senate Bill 50.

And that is, as far as I'm concerned, that's a perfectly legitimate line of attack.

Anybody that voted for Senate Bill 50 should have to own up to that.

Yes, because we were originally... going to cover the CFO's race today.

However, CFO Blazingolia and then his Democratic challenger, former state lawmaker Annette Taddeo, they are in the panhandle.

They've been dealing a lot with insurance.

And so we will move that show for another date ahead of the election.
