Barbara Shareef, who is running against Lauren Book for the Democratic nomination for Senate, filed suit Friday alleging that Book and her campaign engaged in false and deceptive campaign ads that blatantly lie about Shareef’s position on many issues. In the complaint, Shareef gives multiple examples where images were taken out of context (for example, an image of Shareef holding a gun taken at a guy buy-back program intended to get the weapons off the streets was used to imply that she advocates for the guns) or where statements about Shareef were blatant lies.
Book, in turn, has threatened to counter-sue – though for what is unclear. This would not be the first time Senator Book would take to the courts in order to suppress an opponent. In 2017 she filed a stalking complaint against anti-registry activist Derek Logue in order to silence him. A Florida Appellate Court reversed the injunction and the Florida Supreme Court agreed that there was no basis for Book’s restraining order.

I see that Dr. Sharief got 40% of the vote to Sen. Book’s 60%.
Book faces no R challenger, so she will continue to serve in the Senate.
I have feelings about that but am keeping them to myself as I realize we publicly neither endorse nor oppose individual candidates for elected office.
I’ve been trying hard to find ANYONE to represent me in a pending lawsuit against the Books, and no one will step up to the plate.
Of course, I don’t have the monry to pay for the best money can buy. Sharief can. I’m willing to be a witness for Sharief at the least.
Have you tried the folks at https://www.registrymatters.co/about-surmount/ pod cast? They do lawsuits as well they did the butts county Georgia Halloween sign suit. I believe I could be wrong but I seem to be under the impression that they do pro bono work.
The Books have made a life long career based on lies and deceptions , why should she not think she can continue to do that? I think there will be a time when he gets involved but not with just one government but all at his appointed time. The Books will be delt with , but in the meantime as Dr . Shareef does not deserve the slander I think it appropriate that we pray for her. As she is up against a great and rich evil. She will need some help.
Professional politicians lie? Say it ain’t so. Neither of the Books have any credibility whatsoever in my book.
I hope and pray she wins this lawsuit against Book, and then WINS in the senate and the BOOKS tenure in the legislature is BOOKEND!
It’s time to close the book on Lauren Book.
Lauren Book is, apparently, a serial liar.
Perhaps these are not the only lies she has told in her life?
