Susan Gibbs Thomas’s newest supporter and funder is Keep Martin Green. They are the ones who paid for this mailer.
So who is Keep Martin Green?
They are a PAC which was only opened and funded just a couple of weeks ago. The chair of the Keep Martin Green PAC is Ronald Rose, the President & CEO of the Jensen Beach Chamber of Commerce.
They were funded with $94,500 from Accountability in Government, another PAC, whose most recent large donation of $482,000 came from Fight for Florida, which is funded by mostly developers and construction companies. I guess their “fight” is to be able to build.
The crazy thing is that the Fight for Florida group gave directly to Blake Capps well as candidates in Pasco, Manatee, Hernando, Clay, Citrus, and St. Johns Counties. Maybe they are trying to hedge a bet here in Martin County.
About this mailer. It states that Ms. Thomas will “stand up to big developers”… the same developers and those with direct connections to those developers that have funded more than 75% of her campaign thus far. YES 75%!!!!!
But back to the $94,500… this PAC was JUST set up right before this mailer was created and sent out. Was it set up just to fund mailers about keeping Martin some shade of green?
Oh wait, they also put together a video to support Doug Smith.
Let’s be honest… they only green they care about in Martin is the kind that goes in certain wallets.
Know who supports your candidates, especially financially. And make sure you vote on August 20th.
