Congressional candidate in Florida ignores HOA, won't remove 'Let's Go Brandon' holiday lights [View all]

A Republican businessman in Florida who’s running for Congress is trolling his neighborhood with a lighted “LETS GO BRANDON” display on his home, and he says he won’t remove the message anytime soon despite threats from his HOA.

Martin Hyde of Sarasota could face a $150-a-day fine, but he doesn’t care, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune reports.

“It’s fully in keeping with my personality and my campaign,” Hyde said. “Anybody who doesn’t like it, it’s one street... don’t come.”

In fact, Hyde plans to unveil a larger display at a campaign-style event at his home Wednesday with free food and alcohol. He’s touting the event on Facebook as a “LGB community party and ‘Non-woke’ Christmas lights unveiling.”
