Catching up on my campaign for congress...

My account was suspended last year the same weekend that:

@miamiherald published their story proving my case
Jack Dorsey met with Desantis' ppl in Miami
@HealthyFla shut down all its #COVID data feeds
I met with @DNC members
Twitter would not allow my campaign or my campaign staff to have accounts throughout the entire election, significantly hindering our efforts.

But despite that, we ended coming in second place statewide among Congressional D candidates in small-dollar donations...
I was the first Democratic congressional candidate in the state to qualify for the 2022 ballot via voter petitions.

I was also the first congressional candidate in Florida history to qualify with voter petitions from every one of Florida's 67 counties.
We did a lot of good with our campaign - donating and working with non-profits like the Monument to Women Veterans, American Legion, Emerald Coast Wounded Warriors, Defenders of Freedom and more.

I also personally paid more than $20k in power bills when FP&L hiked rates in 2021.
We ran against a sham candidate and thrice-suspended attorney who has never lived in our district. She worked with my serial psybots to sue me to kick me off the ballot. We won on appeal, we stomped her in the election, and then starting pulling in major endorsements.
In my very first run for office, in my very first debate, I kicked @mattgaetz ass so bad that he stormed out of the studio and had the videos taken down from YouTube (of course we saved them, you can find them at RebekahJonesCampaign.com)
It's a grave injustice that you all did not get to join us in that journey. With all the talk about #censorship, no one mentioned that I was the ONLY major party candidate running for office this year who had no access to Twitter.
@DanielEllsberg was my first endorsement, and the one I'm most humbled by. Of course that's not to say I wasn't truly grateful to have @MichaelEMann, @MarkRuffalo , @BetteMidler, and so many others on my team, as well: rebekahjonescampaign.com/endorsements
I will forever be indebted to @NikkiFried for her guidance and support during this campaign. I am lucky to have had the support of my family, even when @mattgaetz went so far as to have my son stalked, publish his photos online, and bully him for his disability. My husband rocks.
