Satellite Beach, FL – Joanne Terry of Satellite Beach, a centrist Democrat, announced her candidacy for U.S. House of Representatives FL-08 on Thursday. Terry is a retired space industry systems engineer and Brevard resident since 2004.

Terry is running for congress because she believes our partisan divide and political discourse is benefiting no one and costing us all. “Bill Posey’s recent behavior and voting record shows he is representing the extreme elements of his national party and not representing the people and needs of our community.“ added Terry.

She continued, “Just recently, the Brevard Commissioners raised utility rates to prepare She continued “Just recently the Brevard Commissioners raised utility rates to prepare the making. But, when the recent infrastructure bill came up in Congress, not only did Mr. Posey vote against it but unlike many Republicans, he neglected to submit a single project for our district. We pay taxes, too. Florida’s 8th District deserves its fair share.”

Terry is running on a pro-business, pro-people, and pro-environment platform, saying, “I will work across the aisle to represent the needs of our community and work toward finding the right balance between the private (free enterprise) and public (government) sectors that is necessary for inclusive, sustainable, and resilient prosperity for all of us.”

“I will spend the next 10 months traveling throughout our district discussing our local issues and sharing my thoughts on how we can focus on our common goals. When we remember that we’re all working for the good of the community, we can address our differences with the respect and civility of a functioning democracy.” Terry concluded.

Please like and share to spread the word! Many people are putting sea turtles back into the ocean.#1 Rule—If you happen to find sea turtles on the beach, do not put them back into the ocean. They do not have the energy or instinct to swim back out to the Sargasso Sea. Please call our hotline, and we may instruct you to hold them until we arrive or ask you to bring them to a drop-off location.Hotlines:Brevard County - 321-206-0646Other Florida counties - 888-404-3922This week is not a normal week. We are getting giant mats of Sargassum with very young turtles washing onto the beaches. The Sargassum is where young turtles live for a decade or more. The Sargassum was broken up and spread out from the recent hurricanes, and then the strong easterly flow of wind pushed those mats towards the coast like a conveyor belt, dropping Sargassum and baby turtles all over our beaches.Sea turtle hatchlings only have the instinct and energy to swim out to the Sargassum once; they cannot do it again. If you put the small, dehydrated, and lethargic turtles in the ocean right now, they will likely drown. Rehab and then a boat ride out far offshore is their best chance, and what we can do for them if you call our hotline. Please also remember that handling sea turtles is a felony, and if you’re going to pick one up, you must call our hotline to ensure that it is legal. ... See MoreSee Less
