What has anyone heard about the two on the ballot opposing Rick Scott (John Columbus and Keith Gross)?

A quick gander at Cumbus’ campaign site leads me to believe he’s running as a republican as a democrat has zero chance of winning a statewide election in ‘24. I incorporate posts from another thread for reference.

I reckon I prefer the money launderer over the dope smoker.

ETA: I just went to Columbus’ campaign site and holy shit, it reads like it was written by a leftist. I was only half kidding about being a pot head but he had to be high af when he registered as a republican.

Wants to expand social security
Pro choice
Regurgitating book banning narrative
No clue about what causes inflation
Wants a law capping rent annual rent increases.

Every problem he lists, he proposes expansion of government to solve.

I got the same vibe. I dont know squat about nor heard of either.


Holy smokes. Also zero mention of 2A so far from what Ive read. From His Bio below.... Totally not a leftie. We sure this aint some psi-op to get a leftie elected?



I spent the first 18 years of my life raised in a conservative, God fearing household in Orlando, FL. When I graduated from Dr. Phillips High School in 2002, I was decorated as Prom King & Senior Class President.

In autumn of 2002, I  began my collegiate career attending New York University where I obtained a Bachelor in Fine Arts from Tisch School of the Arts, graduating in 2006.

“I ran for Senior Class President to give glory to God”
— John S. Columbus

I became a member of the Actors Equity Association while working at the Paper Mill Playhouse, and by 2007 I was touring North America in the first national tour of Monty Python’s Spamalot.

When the Broadway tour ended in 2009, I stayed in Los Angeles to continue my professional acting career. I worked at the Pasadena Playhouse, did a few commercials, one pilot, and made an appearance on Comedy Central before moving back home to Orlando in 2012.

In 2013 began working full time at Walt Disney World as a performer in the comedy troupe “The World Showcase Players” in the United Kingdom Pavilion at EPCOT. While working in the entertainment community around Orlando, I was afforded an opportunity to set sail with Disney Cruise Line in 2015.

@HiFlow I didn’t want to muddy up Miami’s thread about the GOA kicking ass much more so started a new one.

How was and is that any different from Rick Scott and the majority of Republicans currently holding office?

He admits it publicly? Kudos for being honest, I suppose.

Chip Roy should move to Florida and run for the Senate.  At least that would be one stain removed.
