Gaetz, Zimmerman Will Be On November’s Ballot For Florida House District 1
August 29, 2018
Incumbent Matt Gaetz won the Republican nomination for U.S. House District 1 Tuesday to face Democrat challenger Jennifer Zimmerman in November.
Gaetz received 64.8 percent of the vote, followed Chris Dosev will 30.25 percent and John Mills with about 5 percent.
“I am proud that Northwest Florida voters continue to place their trust in me to represent our community in the U.S. Congress”, Gaetz said Tuesday night. “Our community embraces the conservative values that make America great, whether it is rebuilding our military, securing our borders, defending the 2nd Amendment, or protecting the sanctity of life. I look forward to working with Northwest Florida residents, local businesses, and President Trump to continue improving our tremendous community.”
In the Democratic primary, Zimmerman had 60.5 percent of the vote, followed by Phil Ehr with 39.5 percent.
“The number one thing that I have learned is that people actually listen to your truth. If you speak from the heart, and you speak the truth, people appreciate that. And that is what my campaign was based on,” Zimmerman said after her primary win. “Don’t be afraid of change. Don’t be afraid to trust a different voice. What I bring to this race isG something you have not heard for so long.”

I am deplorable and proud of it . Donald Trump is a great man and if your people would work with him instead of against him at every turn, things would be even better than they are. he is a business man and the politicians are not getting their money to waste and steal. that is why he is hated. make American great AGAIN AND BE PROUD. after 8 years of Obama tearing down America we should be proud of a president that loves America.
p.s. I did not change any words I made my own true statement.
(nod on), Changing words and phrases will not change the truth. Like the fake truth you would rather us believe. (Dante Labeaux) was speaking the truth Matt Gaetz is a bought and payed for conspiracy theorist trump puppet. Go look at the candidates voting records and see what they voted for or against. We are in a very tough time politically and if education and infrastructure and lobbying etc are not given more attention things will only get worse like trumps lowest ever approval ratings..
zimmeranman is a nut.she tells conspiracy theories like they are fact.she is just a democrat rubber stamp. she is complicit in trying to take away our healthcare, voting against anything good.Rubber stamping anything her masters tell her to no matter it hurts us, her constituents, or not. What has this gal done for us. My taxes weren’t cut because of the democrats. our environment will be more polluted. she will spends tax payer money on her personal life and anything to brig down capitalism. Wthe libs the voted down massive infrastructure bill ??? gaetz will be reelected and get something done for us, the people.
Gaetz is a nut. He tells conspiracy theories like they are fact. He is just a Republican rubber stamp. He is complicit in trying to take away our healthcare, voting against the children’s healthcare renewal. Rubber stamping anything his masters tell him to no matter it hurts us, his constituents, or not. What has this guy and president done for us. My taxes weren’t cut because I’m not in the 1%, our environment is more polluted than ever while the EPA chief cancels regulations and spends tax payer money on his personal life.What happened to the massive infrastructure bill ??? Maybe Dr. Zimmerman can defeat him and get something done for us, the people.
I’ve never been so tempted to vote Democrat in all my life. Probably just leave that portion of the ballot blank. Could not dream of the two worst choices for this office.
Sad to say that the state of our republic is in a shambles. People who bow down to the Trump altar become instant disciples. This is the worse case of idolatry I have ever seen.
STUNNED! that Gaetz would get votes – when and what has he done for us?? however when it comes to rudely being on TV with ridiculas deep state theories and even when proven wrong he continues – THAT is the ONLY thing he has done – we need a lot in Escambia country – not status the same-
I am shocked that most people voted for Gaitz. He is such a politician / poser.
Good luck to Dr. Zimmerman! We need to be filling our public offices with people of integrity.
Sounds like an interesting race and I will look forward to seeing if my old pediatrician wins
CONGRATZ Dr. Z
Yeah Matt! This young man is doing a most excellent job and I’m sooo happy he won the primary.
