Sarasota County’s Youngest Candidate To Fight Redistricting Scheme

I'm Cory Hutchinson! I'm a lifelong resident of Sarasota County, and I love this region. That's why I'm running for office. For decades, our county has been under the rule of one party, and we have seen the consequences. Our region is experiencing out of control growth, environmental destruction, infrastructure failures, and controversial re-districting that reeks of gerrymandering and racism. We need a new direction! 

My sole focus is to ensure that we do the right thing for the citizens of Sarasota County. I will work hard each day to be your voice, and stand up for your rights- not special interests, or developers. I want to protect our County's precious resources and environment. 

One of the worst displays of bad government was exhibited recently, when three of our County Commissioners voted to re-draw our county's five district boundaries right in the middle of an election cycle. Our largest minority community in Sarasota County, Newtown, was drawn into a different district, which means they will be unable to vote in the 2020 election, which is when they were supposed to vote again. It's difficult not to see this as a racist attempt to gerrymander thousands of minority voters. This horrid action by three of our County Commissioners cannot be allowed. We must fight to save our community, and ensure that all of our voters are represented equally. 

My platform will focus on ensuring that government is of, by, and for the people. Once we fix this re-districting scam, we're going to work on fixing the issues in our County. Our plan is simple:

1. Work to slow out-of-control growth.

2. Protect Our Environment 

3. Rebuild/Repair Infrastructure 

4. Fix Campaign Finance Laws to Ensure Fair Elections

5. Focus on affordable housing/ higher wage jobs 

Our platform can be summed up in a two words: "Re-Imagine Government." It's time to imagine a government that works for the people, and does what's right- not what's easy. That's my style of leadership, and that's why I'm running. We're fighting against a well-funded opponent who accepts big money contributions from special interests. I'll need your support! Please consider donating to my campaign, and/or sharing my campaign on social media! Any amount of support, whether financially or otherwise, is so huge for our grassroots effort! I appreciate your support, and your time.

With gratitude...I'm Cory Hutchinson.
