Erin Huntley, and dozens of other Republicans are the subject of a report that is reportedly being “sanitized” by the Chairman of the Florida GOP Ethics Committee.
By Jacob Engels
An upcoming report from the Florida GOP, will downplay issues surrounding their Political Director Alexander Pantinakis and Executive Director Bill Helmich double dipping, through their off-books businesses.
According to an insider within the RPOF, the duo is profiting and leveraging their power to elect loyalists. Most importantly, electing Erin Huntley, who is the Chair of Chairs to the State House. Huntley is notably backed by political consultant David Ramba and the Insurance industry.
GOP members sign a loyalty oath that dictates that you don’t get involved in GOP primaries. Apparently Pantinakis, Biddle, and Helmich don’t want the people to decide the State House Race of District 45. It’s their game, while they get paid by the Florida GOP and their candidate.
This journalist tried to get comment from the RPOF Ethics Committee Chair David Biddle, Pantinakis, and Helmich. They all declined comment, or simply refused to reply.
At the upcoming quarterly meeting in May, the new Audit Chair is expected to downplay these findings and present a sanitized report to the Executive Board. But concerns are growing.
Shady Connections: Erin Huntley, GOP Operatives, and PAC Finances Under Scrutiny
Back to the RPOF, or Republican Party of Florida. According to a member of the committee, there is a problem within the highest echelons.
Political Director Alex Pantinakis and Executive Director Bill Helmich have been leveraging their positions within the RPOF to double dip—personally profiting while using party funds to install loyalists in key roles (e.g., Jovante Teague, Erin Huntley). Once in place, these individuals are supported with funding and political cover to help them win elections.
And what can be said about Jovante Teague, a former corrections officer who was involved in a relationship with an inmate. Passing notes, and God knows what else.
He ran a shadow campaign to challenge then current Vice Chairman Jesse Phillips, literally the night before the election was held.
Phillips declined to comment or discuss the facts surrounding this case.
I will make it known that I will be at the Republican Party of Florida quarterly meeting, supported by several elected officials that serve in the Florida House and the United States Congress to address this issue.
Huntley’s benefit at the hand of the Florida GOP is not the only case.
Of the approximately 25 contracts reviewed, nearly a third were found to have bypassed proper channels and lacked necessary authorizations.
Fair to mention, I served as the Chairman of the Florida Federation of TeenAge Republicans, served as the Finance Director of the Florida College Republicans, helped stop Andrew Gillum from becoming Governor, was hauled into a grand jury by Robert Mueller. I’ve been harassed by the mainstream media, from the Washington Post to the Orlando Sentinel to the New York Times.
I say this because I know people will try to claim I am not MAGA or toeing the line. Fuck them.
