THIS ONE IS IMPORTANT!!!
Three things I learned talking to today's guest and democratic candidate for State Attorney in the Sixth Judicial Circuit for Pinellas/Pasco, Allison Miller.
1. According to Florida Department of Corrections, Pinellas/Pasco counties (the 6th circuit) send more people to prison than any other circuit in Florida.
2. A Democrat hasn't run for State Attorney in Pinellas/Pasco since 1964.
3. Allison's opponent and current State Attorney for Pinellas/Pasco, Bruce Bartlett, was recently quoted as saying "One of the things that has made this office so effective is the lack of change".
Now how you feel about these facts may inform how you vote. I used to work for Bruce Bartlett, I like Bruce Bartlett and I'm hoping he'll come on the show to discuss his view. That said, my politics are no secret, we have never had a female state attorney and I am a big fan of change. A lot of my colleagues are nervous to speak publicly about this race for fear of how it may impact their practice. I'm not that smart. I'm not gonna tell anyone how to vote, but I'm going to ask that you listen to this podcast and hopefully Bruce's if he agrees to do it.
This one is important folks...expect a quiz
