An Orlando political committee launched a direct mail campaign promoting Bruno Portigliatti as a political outsider who will get things done in office.
“Conservative state Representative candidate Bruno Portigliatti knows Obamacare is a disaster,” the Liberty and Prosperity Fund mailer proclaims. “It’s going to take a political outsider repeal and replace it.”
The mailer includes cutout headlines of stories on the failure of the Senate Republican plan to repeal the health care law, and says Portigliatti “won’t settle for inaction or the status quo.”
Liberty and Prosperity Fund took in $24,000 in contributions in June. The Florida Assisted Living PAC chipped in $3,000 of that total, while the other $21,000 came from Soar Global Institute, a company Portigliatti is the vice president of according to state records.
“We need more leaders, like Bruno, that produce results for hardworking Florida families, NOT more establishment politicians that get nothing done,” the mailer reads. “On the campaign trail, the politicians will tell you what you want to hear – but once elected, they quickly seem to forget the promises made to their constituents.”
Portigliatti is one of four Republicans running to replace former Rep. Eric Eisnaugle, who stepped down earlier this year to become a judge on the Fifth District Court of Appeal. One Democrat, Paul Chandler, is also running for the seat.
The special primary election for HD 44 is set for Aug. 15, with a general election to follow on Oct. 10.
