There are three candidates in Congressional District 9 vying for the Republican Nomination to take on Democrat Congressman Allen Grayson in the November election. One of them, realtor Carol Platt, is endorsed by Jeb Bush and seems to be supportive of Common Core. Because of the political unpopularity , she is now backtracking a bit and will not answer the question in a straightforward manner as evidenced by
audio from the Carl Jackson Show. Platt goes on for several minutes and still does not answer the question.
This is in stark contrast to both of the other opponents, especially Jorge Bonilla, who
clearly oppose Common Core with Bonilla vowing to defund it and Peter Vivaldi:
If
Jeb Bush continues to be deceptive in his portrayals of Common Core in Florida, as he did saying that the standards are gone from Florida and then in the same breath saying that the changes to Common Core were not substantial while campaigning for Governor Scott, it is quite possible that his endorsements will do more harm than good.
