A second Republican has joined the race for Pinellas County Commission in District 3 in hopes of challenging incumbent Democrat Charlie Justice, who has not drawn a challenger.
David Scott Leatherwood is an influencer known for his conservative activism, particularly on his Instagram account where he goes by the name “Brokeback Patriot.”
That’s a nod to the film “Brokeback Mountain” about two closeted gay men living in Montana at a time and in a place where they would not be accepted. Leatherwood is a gay Republican. His Instagram features several posts criticizing gay activism, including use of the rainbow flag.
