A new Pensacola based listener group with Political Mayrix News poll shows that Elijah Manley has a small lead over Rep. Cherfilus. 

38% of voters picked Mankey, 35% picked Cherfilus and 10% picked Holness. 13% of voters remained undecided. 

Without Cherfilus in the ballot, 45% would pick Manley,  33% Holness while 22% would remain undecided. 

Only 22% of voters believe that Cherfilus should remain in office due to her scandals and ongoing ethics investigation.

You mean to tell me that human child organs-eating cannibal pedophiles are operating at the highest level of our government and society and are being protected by the Justice Department? Surely, we're going to do something about that right? RIGHT?!

Poll: Elijah Manley leads CD 20 Primary as most voters want Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick to resign Just 22% of voters believe Cherfilus-McCormick should remain in office and seek re-election, pollsters found.

A new poll shows me leading the field in FL-20! Voters are rallying behind my vision for change.

I’ve been through childhood homelessness, I’m an educator and community advocate, and if elected, I’d be the youngest member of Congress. #FL20

The South Florida Sun Sentinel editorial board is calling on Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick to resign, saying the controversy around her office has become too serious. 

The most serious charge is that she tapped into overpayments of more than $5.7 million from Florida to her company, Trinity Health Care Services, during her 2021 special election race. 

According to FEC filings her progressive challenger Elijah Manley is leading with a significant fundraising haul.

Protect a future for the people of Venezuela | Opinion A candidate for the 20th U.S. Congressional District in South Florida outlines how he would tackle sanctions and rebuilding after the arrest of Maduro.

In the South Florida Sun Sentinel, I write: β€œWe cannot allow the vacuum of power in Caracas to become a vacuum of order. Any decapitation of the regime (must) lead to the protection of the people, not prolonged chaos.” Read my column on what should be next for Venezuela:

Elijah Manley for Congress β€” Florida's 20th District Elijah Manley is running for Congress in District 20 to fight for South Florida's working families.

Born in Fort Lauderdale’s Sistrunk community, Elijah Manley grew up hungry and homeless, raised by a single mother in deep poverty. Inspired at nine by Barack Obama, he chose service over despair. Now he is running for Congress to fight for families like his. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Ask the gaggle of gubernatorial wannabes what they'll do for Florida's environment In the Sunshine State, the environment is the economy, but our governor has done a lousy job of protecting it. A special report from Craig Pittman of the Florida Phoenix.

I say ask the ones who are running for congress first. One will give you a straight answer and solution @elijahmanley.bsky.social is that man

BREAKING: My opponent, Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick has just been indicted by the US Department of Justice for a laundry list of fraud charges.

I repeat, I am Elijah Manley, a 27 year-old educator and the best Democratic candidate to hold this seat in Florida’s 20th congressional district.

A year from now tonight, I will (god willing) be the congressman-elect for Florida’s 20th congressional district, and with a new Democratic House majority end the Donald Trump presidency.

I oppose the Southland rock mine project, a proposed 8,600 acres limestone mine that Big Sugar wants to put in the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA).

I urge the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and SFWMD to reject this poisonous proposal.

So Democratic Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormickis suing her 26 year old primary opponent Elijah Manley for defamation.

Just so people know, it’s nearly impossible for a politician to win a case against someone for defaming them, especially someone running against them.

This is insane.

That’s what a loser does. She will lose this lawsuit and we will crush her in the most painful way imaginable in the August Democratic Primary. Donate to our legal fund:
