Brian Nathan

Thank you, Pinellas County.

Hi, this is Senator Brian Nathan.

I'm a Democrat running for reelection in State Senate District 14, and that includes the western part of Hillsborough County, from MacDill Air Force Base up through South Tampa, West Tampa, Town & Country, Carolwood, all the way up to Odessa and Lutz, and then over to Tampa Palms.

I'm a Navy veteran, an electrician, a union leader, a husband, and father of two teenage daughters.

It's going to be another close election, and we need you to vote.

Make a plan to vote and encourage your family and friends to do the same.

Join me in this fight and find out more at brian4fl.com. I'm Brian Nathan.

And I'd be honored to have your vote, to keep representing you in the Florida Senate.

Okay.

So the exclusive we had yesterday from Brendan Leslie on our account, flvoicenews.com, was the campaign manager was sounding an alarm on Senator Brian Nathan and Nikki Freed's failure to act on assault claims against a David Jolly quote-unquote confidant.

Well, I wanted to find out more about this story.

Shauna Vercher is joining us here on Florida's Voice.

She managed Florida State Senator Brian Nathan's 2026 special election campaign.

And she's joining us to talk a little bit more about this.

First of all, it's good to see you.

And we're going to continue to follow.

So that's a big swing seat right there.

They gave five thousand dollars to Josie Tomko, who's a former Republican state representative from the the Tampa Bay area, who is challenging Democratic state Senator Brian Nathan.

He's the guy that won this this special election in this this sort of like Republican leaning district election.

earlier this year.

That's a 21-point swing.

There's an example, uh, of, uh, Brian Nathan, who, uh, won, uh, by more than 9 points in a Republican district, and Louisiana where Democrat Chasity Verrett Martinez got 62% of the vote and Trump had won by 13.

So put it all together, is there real evidence of a Democratic wave? Yes.

It's not just polls.

I personally feel that David Jolly pulled this out.

And my hope is that if you saw what happened to Senator Brian Nathan, where he beat a candidate who spent $3 million against him.

He barely had $100,000.

A lot of Republicans voted for Brian Nathan, even though there's 5,000 more Republicans in that district than Democrats.

that that's our hope our hope is that independence i hope he does it again we'll do great and democrats you guys got to get out and vote you guys are lazy come on let's get it let's do it let's vote please i'm begging you it's so important

Yeah, listen, you know, we're talking about this and how influential do you think are these debates or endorsements and things like that? Is anyone listening anymore or are we all too busy? Is it all TikTok?

defeated the Trump-endorsed Republican John Maples.

This district included Mar-a-Lago, Florida Senate District 14 special election, Democrat Brian Nathan narrowly defeated Republican Josie Tomko by 400 votes.

Previously, that was a Republican-held seat.

And zoom in right now on Florida's 22nd congressional district, because to me, this tells a very big story over here.

But there's all these Republican crossovers.

Remember in the special district race for Brian Nathan, we had a huge percentage of Republicans.

Republicans crossing over to vote for Brian Nathan.

And that's a rematch coming up, too.

That is a rematch.
