  1. The Florida State Department makes a lovely reference guide for their current Resign-to-Run law, last updated in 2018. Give it a read... you will see an exemption for federal office. David is spreading misinformation.

  2. Can you please state where Federal Office is listed....? 3)(a) No officer may qualify as a candidate for another state, district, county, or municipal public office if the terms or any part thereof run concurrently with each other without resigning from the office he or she presently holds. (Florida Statute 99.012)

  3.  @brianwhiting3280  You clearly don’t understand what a district is... do you? For your information, section (2) of 99.012, which prohibits running campaigns for multiple offices simultaneously, list federal office and districts separately.

  12.  @Old_Indian_Trick  Yes, it is meant to help you understand the law. You’re welcome to also reference the actual law, which is cited within the reference guide. It states the same thing, but in typical legal syntax, which confuses most people. Why would it state the opposite of what’s in the law...?

  13.  @Old_Indian_Trick  Yes, and David is currently engaging in it. Not the state department of Florida... As I mentioned, you can also just read the law that’s cited in the reference guide. FFS.

  36. Instead, you should share the reference guide for the Florida’s Resign-to-Run law. Then people will see how both federal office and president/vp are exempt from the law, and David is just spreading misinformation.

  38.  @brianwhiting3280  No, it is not applicable. A district level office it not the presidency, nor federal level office. Also notice the level of offices are listed in descending order in the text of the law. Maybe that will help you understand what they are saying by district office.
    1
  39.  @brianwhiting3280  State Office... District office... County Office... Municipal office... That’s the order listed in the bill. It’s in descending order for level of office. District office does not mean District of Columbia. The mental gymnastics you’re performing here is truly wild. Wow. And yet again, I’ll ask you... Why does section (2) of 99.012 list federal office separate from district office, if they are the same thing? Please, make it make sense. LMAO

  40.  @brianwhiting3280  “County is the next step down from state”... Ok. It’s clear now you don’t understand district offices. There are 40 districts within Florida and 67 counties... Also, the only people claiming this intent of the law are people like David, whom are deliberately misinforming you. The letter of the law is exactly what matters. What David is claiming, simply does not exist.

  44.  @caesarmedina8489  The last update to that law was in 2018... when the reference guide was updated. You can reference the text of the law as well. It’s section (3)(a) that pertains to “qualifying as a candidate” and federal office is not included.
    1
  45.  @caesarmedina8489  When laws are changed, it’s very well documented as to what was amended. Since you are convinced it was last updated in 2022, please do tell what was amended in the law... good luck! Furthermore, I have cited section (3)(a) of 99.012 that pertains to “qualifying as a candidate” and federal office is not included. Can you cite otherwise?

  46.  @caesarmedina8489  Please quote where the following includes federal office... An “officer” may not qualify as a candidate for another state, district, county or municipal public office if the terms or any part of the terms would overlap with each other if the person were to be elected and did not resign from the office the person presently holds. DE Reference Guide 0016 (Updated 06/2022)

  47.  @caesarmedina8489  “Qualifies for Federal office” means they have already been elected or appointed to federal office. Notice how that’s worded differently than “Qualifies as a candidate”... Congratulations, you cited the portion of the law that says Desantis couldn’t be president and governor at the same time. FFS. Yes, I was wrong. The last change to 99.012 was actually in 2011, 12 years ago. Sorry about that.
    1
  48.  @caesarmedina8489  No... we are both talking about section 4a. You are just failing to grasp the concept of what’s written. 4a stating “qualifies for federal office” means they have been elected but not taken the office yet . 4a is stating they must resign from state office before taking federal office after being elected. Being elected is part of a qualification for federal office. This is not about section 8. Section 8 is for incumbents of federal office. Now... 3a which covers candidates for office does not list federal office. 3a - qualifies as a candidate 4a - qualifies for federal office 8 - incumbent of federal office (See the differences?) The fact you can’t grasp these written concepts means you are exactly who David targets. You are exactly why he spreads misinformation.

  49.  @caesarmedina8489  I have relentlessly attempted to have a genuine conversation. But you began the conversation by asserting your superior understanding of the law. Yet, you’ve continuously failed to grasp various differences in the language. And still continue to, in order to avoid admitting your errors. Here, I can apply 4c to Desantis, using the same language, to help you understand the phrase “intends to seek”... If Desantis intends to seek the presidency, he must resign from his current office 10 days before he qualifies for office. Now in regards to qualifying for federal office as president.... When does this formally occur? Hint: Republicans rioted at the last one At this point, I no longer expect you to reply, in order for you to preserve your hubris.

  50.  @Timorio  Ohhh! The article! Wow! You’re so right! Omg! Too bad the Florida Statute 99.012 Section (3)(a) doesn’t list federal office under those “qualifying as a candidate” But it’s adorable that you have an article...
    1
  51.  @Timorio  Ok... So you’re quoting the portion that says you can’t run a campaign for more than one office simultaneously. Desantis is the governor, he’s not a gubernatorial candidate. Nor could he even “qualify as a candidate” now, due to the gubernatorial term limits in Florida. FFS 🤦‍♂️

Desantis is the governor, he’s not a gubernatorial candidate. Nor could he even “qualify as a candidate” now, due to the gubernatorial term limits in Florida. Section (3)(a) is the applicable law for this situation, not section (2). LMAO
    1
  67.  @TheCocoaDaddy  Desantis, as the incumbent governor, by definition is not a gubernatorial “candidate”... As for this definition, it is clearly defined for all Title IX Florida Statutes in Chapter 97.021(7), which states... (7) “Candidate” means any person to whom any one or more of the following applies: (a) Any person who seeks to qualify for nomination or election by means of the petitioning process. (b) Any person who seeks to qualify for election as a write-in candidate. (c) Any person who receives contributions or makes expenditures, or gives his or her consent for any other person to receive contributions or make expenditures, with a view to bringing about his or her nomination or election to, or retention in, public office. (d) Any person who appoints a treasurer and designates a primary depository. (e) Any person who files qualification papers and subscribes to a candidate’s oath as required by law.

  68.  @TheCocoaDaddy  Ok.... If he “qualifies for federal public office”... meaning if elected or appointed to federal public office, he must resign. You’re now quoting the portion that says he cannot be president and governor simultaneously. Notice how it does not say “qualifies as a candidate” in (4)(a) like sections (2) and (3)(a) do, as we just discussed? Fact is, 99.012(3)(a) is the section of the law that would apply to Desantis as an incumbent governor. And Federal Office is not included in that portion.

  69.  @TheCocoaDaddy  And... silence. What a surprise.

  70.  @TheCocoaDaddy  My response was simply asking you to name the republican legislators and cite their legislative movement to amend 99.012. But, magically, you can’t see that post. Just like you magically won’t see this one. Avoiding substantiating your claims is your goal.
    1
  71.  @TheCocoaDaddy  That’s cute that you have articles... I’ll ask again. Cite the legislative movement that was brought to the legislative assembly by the politicians you named. If I can’t reference it on a government website, then it doesn’t exist. An article is not a factual source in this day and age.
    1
  72.  @TheCocoaDaddy  See, this is exactly how misinformation is perpetuated. You’re not interested in actually verifying anything in this article. You fought endlessly to find text within 99.012 that corroborated the articles claims, and you cannot. So further referencing an already questionable article is not a viable argument. I substantiated my claims with the letter of the law. You are incapable of substantiating your claims with citing legislative action. See the difference?
