Palatka residents looking for a hot meal this afternoon may get a side of politics on the right with their burgers and fries.

HD 20 Republican candidate Judson Sapp will be joined by Donald Trump-aligned political operative Roger Stone at the town’s Beef O’Bradys starting at noon Saturday.

Beef O’Brady’s has hosted at least one important event in Florida political history: the first date of Gov. Ron DeSantis and First Lady Casey DeSantis, as documented by the Governor in his book that came out last year.

While a love connection isn’t likely to be struck Saturday by any of the attendees at the Sapp-Stone symposium, Stone’s sojourn to Palatka is the latest sign that Sapp is likely to win the HD 20 race.

He has roughly $260,000 banked for the stretch run of the Primary, while opponent Jamie Watts has roughly $4,000 on hand.

The Primary winner will face Democrat Tony Connolly, who has a little more than $2,000 cash on hand in a district with a massive GOP registration advantage.
