THE DEEP STATE--POWER/PEDICINI/DePRIEST/ANDRADE PART OF RPOF DEEP STATE SWIMMING IN THE TALLAHASSEE SWAMP
It can no longer be denied that the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) under the Deep State leadership of Evan Power swimming in the Tallahassee swamp has demonized the RPOF and has lied, deceived, and intimidated members of the RPOF to toe the line.
The RPOF under Power has lied, deceived, and intimidated members of local MREC to follow his directives and if not, Power having no problem taking out those not following his directives coming out the RPOF in Tallahassee.
Helmich/Ramba/Power
The Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) has become a major part of the Tallahassee swamp controlled by three Tallahassee based lobbyists, who are the RPOF Chairman Power, RPOF Executive Director of the RPOF Bill Helmich and David Ramba of Ramba Consultants.
Manatee County State Legislators--Connerly/Robinson/Boyd
It is regrettable but cannot be denied that Manatee County legislators and the major media outlets are failing to expose the evilness surrounding the area, which is corrupting the political process.
Power has no problem with the Tampa based political operative; Anthony Pedicini being bankrolled by $millions he has received to elect those continuing the Deep State operating out of the Tallahassee swamp.
Pedicini is out to take out The Sarasota Phoenix and The Bradenton Times for exposing the Tallahassee Deep State with frivolous lawfare lawsuits, while Power watches. It is the plan to "trash" TSP and TBT so there is no voice for folks to come together in the Manatee community like they did during the primaries spinning the truth and not making it a left or right issue.
While the Deep State Chairman of the RPOF is double dipping with Helmich and Ramba as lobbyists for a marijuana firm (LUME) out of Michigan, Power ignores that the political operative Pedicini is receiving $millions from PAC’s and LLC’s connected to Deep State donors swimming in the Tallahassee swamp.

Power has said not a word about the Tampa/Ybor City based Republican political operative Pedicini financed by millions of dollars from the Deep State RPOF running the campaign of Deep State candidates in the pockets of “Pay to Play” developers, while connected to the Democrat mayor of Tampa, Jane Castor.
The Chairman of the RPOF has no problem that Pedicini with $millions from his Deep State clients in the pockets of “Pay to Play” developers is suing the Sarasota Phoenix for exposing Pedicini’s ties to the Tampa Democrat mayor, Castor.
Pedicini with Cruz-"Tampa's 1st Lady" and major Democrat political operative
The RPOF Chairman Power is unconcerned that Pedicini, backed by RPOF funds, is using lawfare against The Sarasota Phoenix for revealing Pedicini’s connections with Annie Cruz, a key political operative for both state and national Democrats and Castor’s so-called “First Lady.”

Castor's "First Lady" has helped run Florida campaigns for President Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton. Cruz was executive director of the Florida Democrat Party and worked as a spokesperson for Hillary Clinton's 2008 and 2016 presidential campaigns.
Pedicini with seven Manatee County Commissioner stuffed in "Pay to Play" developers pockets
The Tampa/Ybor City political operative is the operative behind the seven Manatee County Commissioners he stuffed in "Pay to Play" developers Pat Neal and Carlos Beruff's pockets in 2020 and 2022 corrupting the Manatee County Commissioners. Four of the above were taken out in 2024 and the three others will be gone in 2026.
Pedicini is a single 46-year-old political operative living in a million-dollar six-bedroom home in Tampa’s upscale Beach Park neighborhood. He drives luxury cars and enjoys “fine wines,” “finer scotches” and the “finest cigars” as he boasts on X.
Pedicini is the Tampa/Ybor City based political operative, who has received over $6.3 million from Power's led RPOF and the Florida House Republican Campaign Committee to elect Deep State establishment Republican candidates operating in the Tallahassee swamp.
Pedicini is who the Florida Trident calls the"HATCET MAN with shady money and shadier tactics." According to the Florida Trident, Pedicini has received $millions from the RPOF.

Jensen/Benderson/Beruff/Neal
In addition to the Pedicini LLC and RPOF $millions, other major Pedicini contributions records reveal that four major developers, Carlos Beruff’s Medallion Home, Pat Neal’s Signature Homes, Randy Benderson’s Benderson Development, and Rex Jensen’s Schroeder-Manatee Ranch, frequently bundle multiple $1,000 contributions to Pedicini's SIMWINS LLC.
The Florida Trident reports that “Pedicini has been named in at least four libel and defamation lawsuits, all of which have been voluntarily dismissed — an indication they were settled out of court (none of the lawyers contacted would comment).
Pedicini's name has come up in a previously unreported criminal investigation of 'election fraud' by the intelligence unit of the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office. For Pedicini and SIMwins, this appears to simply be the cost of doing business.”
DePriest
POWER AND PEDICINI'S "THE SELF PROCAIMED PROFESSIONAL PROPAGANDIST" DePRIEST
Jenning DePriest is a Pedicini mouthpiece, who is connected to the Tampa/Ybor City based political operative. According to the Bradenton Times, DePriest was behind unsolicited emails to Manatee County residents that were running cover for some of Beruff and Neal County Commissioners, as they prepared to vote in favor of gutting Manatee County’s wet land protections. “I am a Professional Propagandist” – The Bradenton Times –Bradenton Daily News
DePriest has become known among local political circles for his controversial electioneering activities. DePriest made a name for himself through his attempts to influence voters with mass letter and text campaigns, social media influence efforts, and other antics.
DePriest says in his own words - “I don’t just sell a product. I get to trash THE ISSUE! If you got a political text, it’s a good chance I’m behind it.
Other than being a "Professional Propagandist" for Pedicini, DePriest moves money for Pedicini from DePriest’s dark money LLC’s, which are the Gulch Group LLC and his Top Lobster LLC out of his 790 14th Street St. Pete office.

THE POWER DEEP STATE TALLAHASSEE COUP
After Pedicini and the Neal/Beruff handpicked “Pay to Play” candidates were defeated in Manatee County, Power led what cannot be described other than a coup that has been found in Latin American dictatorships.
Power closed the Manatee Republican Executive Committee (MREC), ran off the two elected MREC State Committeeman and woman, who are Trent Wayman and Jackie Heisse and replaced them with the Pedicini flunky, DePriest and Jayne Kocherer. Power’s hand-picked replacements, DePriest has a $183,000 IRS lien on his home and Kocher has a $163,000 IRS lien on her home.
The Power/Pedicini handpicked MREC Chairman Flanagan back in the day (1994) when he was a Deep State Fl. State Rep.
Power also appointed the unelected Mark Flanagan Chairman of MREC, DePriest as the MREC Treasurer and allowed Flangan to select only those he invited to be MREC members.

THE POWER/PEDICINI/BERUFF/NEAL RETRIBUTION
This Pedicini lawfare lawsuits by the RINO Republican establishment political operative Pedicini, which the Power controlled RPOF is basically funding was retribution. A retribution in response to Manatee County grassroots activists and local media outlets sending Pedicini back to Tampa reunited with Castor, the Democrat political operative, Cruz and other fellow travelers.
Retribution for the Pedicini led defeated campaigns financed by the multimillion-dollar Neal, Beruff, Benderson and Jensen “Pay to Play” Gang, who had turned Manatee County government into a Shit Show.
THE PEDICINI/ANDRADE DEEP STATE CONNECTION
This Pedicini retribution lawfare lawsuits were filed by a Pedicini Deep State Florida State Representative out of Pensacola, Alex Andrade.
Pedicini's attorney, Andrade, is a part of the Florida’s Panhandle political machine tied to Power and the Tallahassee Deep State establishment.
Andrade with the Tampa/Ybor City political operative running his campaign and funded by the multimillion-dollar Tallahassee establishment is swimming in the Tallahassee swamp deep in the pockets of lobbyists like Power and is a errant boy for Pedicini.
Andrade is one of Pedicini's handpicked political candidates, who purports to be a America First conservative, but in the past has taken out America First conservative candidates with Pedicini as his political operative.
Chris Dosev and family
In 2020, Andrade with Pedicini as his political operative ran in a Republican primary for Florida House District 2. Andrade was opposed by Chris Dosev, who is an America First conservative Republican, a USMC combat veteran and has an undeniable record of exemplary service to God, country, family, and community.
Dosev a first generation American, he was born to immigrant parents, who taught him the core values of hard work, commitment, service and love of country. He is a lifelong Republican and a true conservative.
Dosev went down to defeat, as thousands of dollars poured into Andrade's campaign from Deep State multimillion dollar Republican establishment donors. Pedicini, who the Florida Trident calls the "HATCET MAN' used what the Trident calls "shady money and shadier tactics" to defeat Dosev.
It is no coincidence that this establishment Pensacola State Representative Andrade and Pedicini “waterboy” comes over five hundred miles to take out those in the media documenting how the Beruff, Neal Gang and Pedicini have corrupted Manatee County government.
FIGHT FOR THE SOUL OF THE FLORIDA REPUBLICAN PARTY
It is past time to state the obvious that in Manatee and Sarasota Counties and beyond in Florida there is a fight for the soul of the Florida Republican Party between the Tallahassee establishment and America First activists and all others opposed to the evilness surrounding Manatee and Sarasota Counties.
A Deep State Republican establishment led by the lobbyist Power operating out of the Tallahassee swamp and promoted by State Representatives like Andrade and a political operative Pedicini, who is called a "HATCET MAN with shady money and shadier tactics" by the Florida Trident.
It can no longer be denied that the evilness that surrounds those in Manatee County is exhibited by the actions of Power, Pedicini, Andrade and the Pedicini’s mouthpiece and waterboy, Jennings DePriest.
