### Breaking News: Travaris McCurdy Arrested for Possession of Crack, Cocaine, and Stolen Firearms

The Orlando Police Department and the city of Orlando have released records indicating that Travaris McCurdy, a candidate for District 5 in Orlando, was arrested for possession of crack, cocaine, and stolen firearms. Interestingly, the records were initially difficult to locate as his name was listed as Dravaris McCurdy in the clerk of court’s records. Mayor, are you behind this? Check out the police report for yourself.

Where the heck is the media the city wouldn’t release these records for months? Do you think if this was a winter park issue the media would be all over it?

Is this why Geraldine Thompson blamed an aide for the theft? Travaris McCurdy, at 40 years old, has accumulated $2,000 in traffic tickets, continues to run red lights, and has falsified child support affidavits—all recently. Is McCurdy simply a bad person? Probably not, he is not well  According to multiple drug counselors, these behaviors are consistent with the long-term effects of crack cocaine use, which makes sense in this context.

😹 Three time losing Candidate Scott Sturgill Runs for Seminole County Republican Committeeman

We were taken aback to learn that Scott Sturgill has decided to run for Republican committeeman. It’s worth reminding everyone of Sturgill’s past humiliations at the hands of Cory Mills, Mike Miller, and Bob Cortes.

Years ago, Apollo conducted a poll for Sturgill that showed 80% of voters were undecided. To this day, he harbors resentment, failing to understand that the poll’s 80% undecided result was accurate. Sturgill himself polled at just 12%. showing how little he understood politics  His inability to accept this reality has earned him the nickname “crybaby.” Former Speaker John Boehner even calls him “Scotty.”

Isn’t he the same guy whose supporters, including himself, were running around town accusing the Supervisor of Elections of stealing a state house primary from him, even though he lost by double digits?

Currently, the Republican committeeman is Jesse Phillips, who serves as the vice chair of the party, bringing significant influence to Seminole County. Scott Sturgill’s candidacy threatens to disrupt this power and the benefits it brings to our community. Welcome to the race, Scotty.

## Travaris McCurdy and the Failure of the Media

The website https://travaris.net has sparked controversy, with the media branding it as dirty politics and Travaris McCurdy likely to decry its content. Yet, the site merely presents documents. McCurdy, endorsed by Buddy Dyer, previously worked for the city in 2022, where he allegedly lied about graduating from Florida A&M on his job application. Furthermore, he reportedly admitted on WFTV or a similar network to failing a drug test, presumably for that job. Despite these issues, Dyer still endorses him.The website https://travaris.net has sparked controversy, with the media branding it as dirty politics and Travaris McCurdy likely to decry its content. Yet, the site merely presents documents. McCurdy, endorsed by Buddy Dyer, previously worked for the city in 2022, where he allegedly lied about graduating from Florida A&M on his job application. Furthermore, he reportedly admitted on WFTV or a similar network to failing a drug test, presumably for that job. Despite these issues, Dyer still endorses him.

McCurdy, who earns over $90,000 at Buddy Dyer’s airport, also lied on his job application there, claiming he had never been arrested, although he is known to be on probation at the airport. Initially, employees undergo a 12-month probation period, but McCurdy received an additional three months due to further problems.

The real tragedy lies in McCurdy’s extensive interactions with the Orange County Clerk of Court for tolls, red light tickets, and more. The media harshly criticized a Republican legislator for similar issues, but has remained silent on McCurdy’s case. He signed a form with Clerk Tiffany Russell for a program designed to help low-income individuals with their license troubles, falsely stating his income as $50,000 per year and $2,000 a month in disposable income. This deception occurred only a few months ago, while he was running for office. His last ticket, dated May, further highlights his character flaws.

McCurdy also filed an affidavit as all candidates do, misleading again about his income. Additionally, his paternity affidavit for child support contains dubious figures, potentially to lower his payments. Let FDLE, Andrew Bain, Ashley Moody, and Governor DeSantis decide, a complaint has been filed with FDLE he is under investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and running for office on Tuesday you decide?

Despite advocating for safer streets, McCurdy has a gun arrest on his record. This information is hard to find because the mayor won’t release police records. Nevertheless, the clerk lists Travaris McCurdy’s birthday, indicating it’s likely him and not a clerical error.

This is not about minor marijuana arrests but recent and relevant misconduct. Voters deserve to know this information, which the media failed to provide. They didn’t pursue Freedom of Information requests or public records, nor did they perform a thorough background check. The media’s negligence allowed McCurdy to mislead voters about his education and arrests.

This situation exemplifies media favoritism and laziness. Experienced reporters like Scott Powers or Lauren Richie have been replaced by less seasoned journalists at the Sentinel. WFTV just lost aggressive reporter Chris Heath, leaving a gap in investigative journalism. No one questioned McCurdy’s background, despite his history in the state house and current candidacy.

### The Real Victims of Media Malpractice

The true victims of the media’s malpractice are the candidates who recently ran against Travaris McCurdy, including Lawanna Gelzer, Ericka Dunlap, and others. of course the voters.  These individuals faced an opponent who was shielded from scrutiny by the media. McCurdy, who had previously been elected, ran unvetted in the recent race.

One must question why the mayor so strongly endorsed McCurdy. This unwavering support is puzzling, especially given the documented issues surrounding McCurdy. The media’s failure to investigate and report on these matters has undermined the democratic process, leaving other candidates at a severe disadvantage.he was always supported by the mayor because of who his donors were. Everyone already knew that.

As the June 18 decision approaches, these facts are crucial for voters. I challenge Mr. McCurdy  if the information on the website is incorrect, please notify via the provided email or comments section.

Visit Orlando’s Economic Impact: A Testament to Successful Governance and Effective Promotion

According to extensive research and publicly related data Visit Orlando, the esteemed tourism authority, has shown remarkable adeptness in maximizing the value of every dollar spent on marketing and local services. In a strategic move to gauge the effectiveness of these expenditures, Visit Orlando partnered with Tourism Economics, a division of Oxford Economics, in 2022. This study aimed to precisely measure the economic impact generated by the promotional activities undertaken by Visit Orlando.

The results from this analysis were exceptionally favorable. For every Tourist Development Tax (TDT) dollar funneled into Visit Orlando, the organization generated a substantial $33 in visitor spending. Furthermore, this investment yielded $3.6 in state and local taxes for every dollar spent. These figures are not just indicators of Visit Orlando’s efficient promotional strategies but also reflect the broader economic benefits, such as enhanced public services and infrastructure improvements funded through the increased tax revenues.

The success of Visit Orlando’s initiatives has been widely recognized by the mainstream media, heralding it as a significant triumph for the current governor’s administration. The ability of Visit Orlando to drive such considerable economic and fiscal benefits showcases the profound impact of targeted tourism promotion on a community’s prosperity.

This success story underscores the effectiveness of strategic investments in tourism marketing as they lead to increased economic activity and tax revenues, which in turn benefit the entire region. Visit Orlando’s accomplishments serve as a robust model of how coordinated efforts between government and promotional entities can lead to substantial community-wide gains.

**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE**

**Dr. Vibert “Issa” White Announces Candidacy for U.S. House of Representatives, Florida, District 10**

**Contact:**
For more information,
Phone: 407.484.5673
Email: Issa7forCongress@yahoo.com

**Orlando, FL, May 4, 2024** — Dr. Vibert “Issa” White is set to unveil his vision and present a “State of the District” address to the residents of Florida’s Congressional District 10 as he officially declares his candidacy to challenge Maxwell Frost. Dr. White asserts that Frost’s representation has been aligned with President Biden’s ineffective governance, hindering the progressive development of District 10’s constituents.

The escalating inflation crisis has placed residents in precarious situations, with working-class families struggling to put food on the table and homelessness reaching unprecedented levels, with 20,000 people in Orange County lacking shelter. The unemployment rate among African American and Latino men hovers at 10%, while college graduates face underemployment. Moreover, Dr. White highlights a concerning statistic that 80% of illegal aliens were clandestinely flown into Florida during the Biden-Frost tenure.

Dr. White underscores that promises made to District 10 residents remain undelivered, with Frost covertly supporting Biden’s War in Gaza. Recent polling data reveals that 81% of young voters aged 18-35 disapprove of Frost’s alignment with Biden’s military activities, including the funding of a new US-sponsored base in Gaza, contributing to almost $1 trillion in military expenditure that extends to the Middle East, Ukraine, Taiwan, and proxy wars in The Sudan.

While Frost claims to champion women’s rights, Dr. White criticizes his disregard for the alarming rate of maternal mortality among African American women in Orange County and across the nation, where Black mothers are dying at three times the rate of non-Black women during childbirth.

Regarding the Haitian Crisis, Dr. White accuses Frost-Biden of double standards, citing the allocation of $400 million to deploy a Kenyan Police Force to Haiti while ignoring the plight of Haitians facing deportation to the Bahamas, Guantanamo Bay (Cuba), and Port au Prince. This disparity has exacerbated tensions and instability in Haiti.

Dr. Issa leads a campaign and movement aimed at empowering District 10 residents, providing them with a genuine voice in the “People’s House,” the United States Congress. He pledges to dismantle policies and rhetoric that have stifled progress for the American people.

The official campaign kick-off and “Address to the Residents of District 10” will take place at 2295 South Hiawassee Road, Suite 309, Orlando, Florida 32835. The event is open to the public and scheduled for Tuesday, May 7, 2024, at 9:30 AM.

The Ebb and Flow of Political Fortunes: Understanding the Shifting Polls

In our last update, we observed a notable shift in the polls towards President Biden, a movement we suggested might be ephemeral. At Kaplan Strategies, we pride ourselves on delivering insightful market analysis while acknowledging the fluid nature of political trends.

In the lead-up to the State of the Union, a sophisticated media narrative focused on President Biden’s age and the speculation of his potential exit from the race. This created a scenario where Biden, by simply delivering a satisfactory performance, could exceed the low expectations and appear comparatively presidential. His speech, although not exceptional, was thus framed as a significant success due to this clever lowering of the bar by his party.

Further impacting the polls are the currents within the Republican party. The emergence of disaffected voters from the DeSantis camp, some of whom are drifting towards unlikely candidates like RFK or choosing to abstain, represents a critical shift. Meanwhile, Nikki Haley’s withdrawal from the race seems to have scattered her support, challenging the assumption that her backers would automatically pivot to Biden.

Governor Ron DeSantis, while not meeting all expectations, has nonetheless influenced President Trump’s campaign, compelling him to allocate considerable resources early on—mirroring the dynamic between Santorum and Romney in 2012, which ultimately benefited Obama.

Moreover, the unexpected candidacy of Robert Kennedy Jr. has introduced a wildcard into the race. His campaign is not to be underestimated; he has garnered a tangible base, drawing some of the disenchanted vote, thereby affecting Trump’s numbers more than Biden’s at this stage.

Another factor to consider is the potential impact of Cornell West’s candidacy. Though not widely viewed as a leading contender, any diversion of the African American vote from Biden could be consequential.

Lastly, we are revisiting our initial forecasts on voter turnout. Interest levels currently suggest that turnout may surpass 2012 but may not reach the heights of 2016 or 2020. This adjustment in prediction points to a battle of turnout in the swing states, with the efficiency of campaign organizations becoming increasingly crucial.

To complicate matters further, President Trump’s ongoing legal challenges add another layer of unpredictability to the race. Legal experts from both sides question the fairness of the timing and venue of these proceedings, adding to the uncertainty of the electoral outcome.

In conclusion, the race remains highly fluid. Each development, each strategic play by the candidates, and every shift in public sentiment informs our understanding of this complex electoral mosaic. As always, we will continue to monitor these changes and provide updates on the potential ramifications for the presidential race.

**Looking Ahead: Insights on the Vice Presidential Race**

Our political landscape is in constant flux, and as we dissect the layers influencing the presidential race, our attention also turns to the vice presidential candidates and their strategic significance in the upcoming election.
