Mike Haridopolos

Oh, interesting enough, they haven't announced a groundbreaking for this.

And as this comes out, Representative Mike Haridopolos, our member of Congress, says this project will create 3,500 jobs, generate $350 million a year in economic activity, which makes 57 million sound like a mere pittance.

And then Mike said this: "There's only one station being built in the entire United States.

It's happening right here." And I'm thinking, perhaps because it's the past as opposed to the future, this mode of transportation...

Yeah.

It, it means...

I commented on that 'cause I, as soon as I saw that Mike Haridopolos and Debbie Mayfield were touting this thing and they were at a, whatever it was, I don't know if it was a groundbreaking or just an announcement of the grant, but-

Yeah, no groundbreaking.

have...

Next up, we have Representative Mike Haridopolos.

And Congressman Mike Haridopolos is a representative of Florida's 8th District in Washington.

And you might recognize his name from our regular guest, Dr. Stephanie Haradopoulos, his wonderful wife, who is currently serving as Director of National Health Communications for the Surgeon General at HHS.

And together, they represent Maha's mission from both ends of of of Washington, you know, one voting to protect Americans from corporate chemical capture and the other building the public health system to make the country healthy.

So they're they're a great pair, a great part of this battle.

And, you know, welcome, Representative Mike Haridopolos.

Thanks for coming on.

I'll always stand with the men and women who serve and protect our communities, and I'm honored to have Sheriff Ivey's support.

I'm honored and excited to announce my endorsement," this is a quote from the sheriff, "of our Congressman Mike Haridopolos.

I've known Mike for many years, and I've watched him serve our community and state as a member of the Florida Senate"...

You weren't here, Wayne, when he was a member of the Florida House, ... "and eventually as Senate president.

"As the son of a law enforcement agent, I know firsthand," this is Mike speaking in the text, "the challenges our men and women in uniform face every day.

I will always," in all caps, "back the blue and stand with those who put their lives on the line to protect our communities.

Thank you, Congressman Mike Haridopolos." You know what my first words were in my mind when I read that? A, the sheriff's getting acknowledgement for endorsing somebody, and his endorsements have meant less and less throughout.

But the first thing in my mind was that, hmm, it was just an election or two ago that he was endorsing someone who committed criminal behavior based on the reports from the state attorney in Volusia County to be our supervisors of elections.
