Larson Hoodwinks Residents
We should ALL be concerned regarding the Bruce Larson campaign! Slick ads are showing up in our mailboxes and on our doorsteps. They are very expensive to create and mail. Upon investigation, Truth and Accuracy Matter notes that these flyers were not sent through our Melbourne Beach Post Office…. they were individually addressed and mailed from Orlando.
Larson’s last mailer (CLICK HERE) stated that he wants to, “Balance today’s needs with FUTURE GROWTH and severe weather.” First of all, how does this sentence even make sense? Is he simply using as many buzz words that he can fit into one sentence? The MOST CONCERNING part of that sentence are the words “FUTURE GROWTH”… Is THAT what we want here in the Town of Melbourne Beach? Is this “future growth” that he refers to the reason why political action committees out of Tallahassee, funded by corporations, are leading the charge for his campaign? CLICK HERE
Truth and Accuracy Matter did a PRR of Larson’s Campaign Treasurer’s Report for the most recent reporting period. It shows some very suspicious connections. All of Larson’s mailers state, “Paid by Bruce Larson for Town Commission,” yet NONE of the costs for designing, printing and mailing these flyers are listed on his campaign report.
WHAT does show on his report is a $1,000.00 payment to Front Line Agency, a political consulting firm out of Tallahassee. Brett Doster is the president of Front Line Agency and is who was responsible for the smear email against Terry Cronin that was sent out last week. CLICK HERE for Campaign Report.

This is going to be confusing, but stay with us here… This is very important information:
Bruce Larson paid $1,000.00 to retain Front Line Agency. CLICK HERE
Front Line Agency is connected to Florida First Forever Inc. CLICK HERE
Florida First Forever Inc. is a Political Action Committee based out of Tallahassee whose donors are predominantly corporations, LLCs and other PACs. (Side note: PACs can donate to other PACs which makes it very difficult to follow the money. In other words, there is no transparency.) CLICK HERE
Florida First Forever PAC funds Floridians for Ethics and Truth in Politics PAC CLICK HERE
Floridians for Ethics and Truth in Politics PAC is who paid for the recent smear email against Terry Cronin. SEE BELOW
This is a small portion of the smear email sent out to residents showing one of the blatant lies spread by Floridians for Ethics and Truth in Politics.
The Brevard Republican Executive Committee (BREC) as referenced above, made an immediate announcement to clarify the REAL TRUTH. SEE BELOW
Also important to note: Elections in the Town of Melbourne Beach are NON-PARTISAN. Why are they bringing up an organization like BREC anyway?
Clarification of the TRUTH made directly by BREC
Bruce Larson hired Front Line Agency to dishonestly target his opponent. The $1,000.00 that he paid to Front Line Agency could not possibly cover the expenses that his campaign has incurred to mail three 8 1/2 x 11 slick mailers, conduct multiple door step drop-offs, send thousands of text messages to unsuspecting recipients as well as send out a smear email campaign to residents of Melbourne Beach.

Mr. Larson, can we expect a COMPLETE financial disclosure on your next Campaign Treasurer’s Report? Or will Front Line Agency and their corporate backers be expecting favors from you or our Town?
RESIDENTS, Do you find this as concerning as we do? Claims were made that Larson is not backed by “big money special interest groups” on one of the door step drop-offs that was conducted by a local LLC. This non-transparent LLC has no public reporting requirements. How do we know where their money comes from? CLICK HERE for flyer. CLICK HERE to read the article
We expect the mudslinging, political double-talk, non-stop flyers, text messages and emails to continue from the Larson Campaign. Please don’t be hoodwinked by misinformation and outlandish claims.
Thank you for taking the time to read and inform yourself about our Town Issues. Allow your common sense to guide your thoughts. Please feel free to reach out with any concerns that you may have or clarifications that you would like us to make.
WHO else is funding Larson’s campaign? WHAT is the ultimate agenda? WHERE do they live? WHEN will they be paid in full… or expect favors from Bruce Larson? WHY are they doing this? Is this tied to the “FUTURE GROWTH” that candidate Larson plans for our community?
Given all this, the importance of truth and accuracy in political campaigns cannot be overstated. Voters deserve transparency not only about who is behind campaign messaging but also about the sources of funding and the reputation of those managing the political narrative.
THIS is what a FULL and TRANSPARENT Treasurer’s Report looks like. CLICK HERE
Truth and Accuracy Matter is proud of our Town and we work hard to protect our community. We stand strong behind our candidates, Sherri Quarrie and Terry Cronin and we urge YOU to vote for both of them on November 4th!
