Teacher has political ideas

CLEARWATER - In the classroom, Countryside High School journalism teacher Carl Zimmermann gets to ask the questions.

“Who hasn’t turned in their last news story yet?” he asked his third period TV Production II class one day last week. This was after reviewing a news story about the school cafeteria (prices up, french fry portions down). “When am I getting them?”

Outside the classroom, political candidate Carl Zimmermann has to answer the questions, and they are tough.

Like, “what’s your solution to the insurance crisis.”

Tackle that.

He does. Zimmermann, 55, is a Democrat running for state House District 48. He claims to have solid solutions to the area’s major problems and boasts of having cross-party support.

His slogan is, "Had enough?".

One of the most frustrating things to watch during the campaign season was reading reports on the fundraising efforts of the Republican hopefuls in the District 48 race. Hundreds of thousands of dollars were being split between the likes of Peter Nehr, Ken Peluso, Brian Flaherty and Robin Borland.

Yet after a rough and tumble primary where four candidates were vying for one ballot slot, those massive war-chests have been depleted and the playing field has been leveled. You can see for yourself on the state fundraising reporting page for Peter Nehr and Carl Zimmermann (simply click on the “campaign Finance Activity” buttons at the bottom of each page). The cash-on-hand for both candidates is just below $8600 as of this writing. This makes financial donations to Carl’s campaign vital right now because they give him the ability to continue competitiveness with Commissioner Nehr in the financial arena.

Make no bones about it, Carl has an excellent shot to win on November 7th. Dissatisfaction with and among Republicans are leading more and more to to voice their support for Carl and his campaign. It takes more than dissatisfied voter base and financial donations for a candidate to win though. It takes the hard work of volunteers and supporters to help get-out-the-vote. We’re close to launching a Campaign Canvassing Caravan and will give more details soon.

Yard signs are due imminently at Team Z headquarters. Their design should be fairly similar to the sign that is visible on Carl’s "Report Card" hand out:

Many of you have voiced concerns about how Carl lacks signs in the district at current and we want to assure you everything is fine. Carl doesn’t face a primary challenge and didn’t want yard signs distributed too early as people will not be able to vote for him until the general election in November.

If you’d like to request a yard sign, please use our contact form and select "Request a Yard Sign" from the drop down menu. Let us know your location in the text field and we’ll make sure to get them out to you.
