FL-HD45: Mailers bearing Carolina Amesty (R) mug shot land in HD 45 mailboxes
If anyone in House District 45 hasn’t heard about Rep. Carolina Amesty’s indictment, postcards hitting mailboxes could soon break the news.
Cards bearing the Windermere Republican’s mug shot appear with the words “INDICTED on FORGERY CHARGES on August 29th, 2024,” lest anyone think this is a story from the incumbent lawmaker’s distant past. Below her picture, the cards read “Orange County students give her an F FOR FORGERY.”
The miniature mailers were funded by Florida Student Power, which sent out 3,000 cards to voters in Amesty’s district, one of the top battlegrounds in the General Election this year.
The cards reference Amesty’s arrest on two counts of forgery, one count of illegally notarizing her own signature on documents, and one of falsely certifying a signature as a notary. The charges — each punishable by up to five years in prison and $5,000 in fines — stem from allegations regarding her work at Central Christian Academy, where former employee Robert Shaffer claims Amesty as an administrator signed his names on forms and then notarized them.
