At the local level the most important thing you can do for our community is to speak for EVERY citizen regardless of party affiliation, something District 3 has not had in 2 election cycles. Tal has already proven that our community is his primary focus, not developers. He regularly spoke during public comment at BOCC meetings on community issues. It only takes a few minutes of talking to Tal to know that he will be representing ALL citizens in District 3 because he is actually interested in what citizens have to say.
This is great! Hits the nail on the head and the sarcasm is so very appropriate! Unfortunately this is all possible. Of course it could take years to explain it to orange man as he, “ knows nothing about it.” Jim Tierney
“May God continue to bless you …? Come on are we going to have Christian only electorate? I can’t believe this is allowed to go on. What about non-Christian voters? Jim Tierney
Yep all those high dollar condo's coming in downtown don't want to upset them. You didn't hear any of this BS when downtown was a ghost town and the city wanted more eating. drinking establishments with open bar until 2am. Well looks like a 6 pack and a trip to the skate-park to top off the evening....... WTF
This will be the first time in 30+ years of voting in Manatee County that I don’t think my vote will count. Satcher puts the taxpayers on the hook again for another 100+ K for his “campaign flier”- his zero experience speaks for itself, and we will be getting a rigged election based on any “interpretation” by Satcher. Wonder how many votes will be lost when they audit specific races on election day especially with Satcher holding Van Ostenbridge’s hand and the additional help of Ballard’s unqualified spouse. Take Back Manatee County and take out the trash on August 20!
I loved to hear that your budget for your office was not set by the BOCC. I remember the one commissioner remarking that with a new property assessor more money could be had. You have done a great job for over 30 years. I will vote for you to continue. Your office is not controlled by developers but by Florida Statutes.
Harris as the boarder czar, well we see how that worked out and how many times she has visited the boarder in the last 3 years. Need I say more? 2887 delegates thought she is the best candidate for the job......a snow job maybe.
More than 10 million people have been reported illegally entering the United States since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021, the greatest number in history and of any administration.
They total more than the individual populations of 41 states.

The "errors" we're already seeing from that office are not so much of a surprise since I learned that those appointed by the governor are suggested to him by lobbyists. The same lobbyists people have paid to get their do-boy politicians elected....
The Citizens would do well voting for Carol Felts. Please vote for all the recommendations the Bradenton Times endorse. They are FOR THE PEOPLE and not developer puppets
Hopefully, the voters in the rest of the county will find out what a thief and a sorry commissioner Kevin Van Ostenbridge has been to the West side when he is not giving a tongue bath to his builder handlers he is condescending to anyone that comments at commissioner meetings. I would recommend never let him get reelected.
Voters will need to immunize themselves against anti choice propaganda and lies. The same people who call Florida the "freedom state" will try to take away your right to choose. Don't let them. Vote yes on 4.
Well let’s see how this too, can be blamed on DEI hires…
Can’t make it up if you tried. Glad to see that voters are catching this error and getting the word out. Can’t say I’d trust the “automatic reissue”.
Luckily for us — they think they have our state locked in — am planning to vote against them and all the way down the ticket in order to seek a reversal of the corruption that has no interest in governing for the people and is destroying the land, the water, and the social fabric that we should protect for future generations.
Clearly Tal values public comment especially since he has been showing up and speaking at commissioner meetings long before he was running for District 3. He has shown more public engagement than both Jonnson or Van Ostenbridge put together. As a District 3 resident that regularly watches meetings and attended the T2T “Van Ostenbridge homeless camp fiasco” I recognized him walking into the meeting and told him how much we appreciated him taking his personal time to go and give public comment. Culbreath has zero interest in what residents in District 3 think- she can’t even come up with one legitimate item for her many fliers. I hope that voters take the time to listen to the podcast, District 3 needs real representation, so this is a no-brainer, vote Tal Siddique.
It's about time some highly qualified candidates took a step forward and ran for these all-important positions. The clowns elected/appointed over the past four years don't have the qualifications nor the executive level experience to hold such positions...and Commissioner is the highest paying job they've ever held!
