Wednesday night, the RINO Establishment wing of the Hillsborough County Republic party attempted an in-house "palace coup" to take control of the Hillsborough County Republican Party, but were overcome and defeated by Party Chairman Col Jim Waurishuk, USAF (Ret.), a staunch MAGA populist Constitutional Conservative.
They used a “weaponized” grievance process to replace the Republican Party of Florida’s Constitution, rules & procedures to serve as a means to strip Waurishuk of his authority as the county party chairman. They suspended his nationally recognized orientation and training program for bringing on new precinct committeemen and committeewomen in an attempt to stack the membership deck against his conservative Executive Committee.
In just over a 90-minute period, using a series of four motions from the floor brought forth by his conservative base in the county Party, Waurishuk eliminated the “Astro-turfed” effort to stack the RINO opposition’s numbers in the Executive Committee to take control of the Party from the Conservative-led America First leadership. The illegal and unconstitutionally process of “member harvesting” was killed by motions brought by the floor. Chairman Jim Waurishuk used those key motions, along with statements presented by the angry conservative base to expose the RINOs, forcing them to reveal their motives and intentions.
His maneuvering demonstrated the strength of both the Chairman’s leadership and the principles and the voice of conservatives in the Hillsborough Republican Executive Committee. In the end, Waurishuk shut down the coup attempt that had by design, manipulated, marginalized, and “used” the people they recruited as “political pawns” to serve their agenda. Sadly, the RPOF leadership not only allowed this effort, but sanctioned and orchestrated it by “weaponizing” the grievance process against Chairman Waurishuk.

Decades of propping up the RINOs is why the entire system been subverted, and the democrats are blatantly lawless.
I also don't subscribe to the nice sounding idea that voting for any republican is stopping the democrats from doing what they want. It has been proven wrong and a big lie. The RINOcrats are leading the GOP. The dems are bemoaning the McCain is not around anymore.
After the district boundaries were changed in 2016, it is located entirely inside of Hillsborough County.
The district includes all of Tampa. The district also includes MacDill Air Force Base and Tampa International Airport.
The district is currently represented by Democrat Kathy Castor.
Democrat won this district in 2020 by 60/40 margin.
Parties are collective forces. They control the rules of Congress and the Senate. Even RINOs usually vote to keep or get their party in control of the House or Senate because that is where the power and goodies come from. The primaries are where real political choice lies. Don’t be a fool. Think of the Libertarian Party party members who are voices crying in the wilderness and end up chairing no committees or whose constituencies are ignored.
