Newly released police and autopsy records show former “America First” Republican Congressional candidate Jason Mariner, who lost the January 11, 2022 Florida 20th District special election to Democrat Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, had died of a fentanyl and cocaine overdose, WUFT reports.
Mariner, a convicted felon who as such technically shouldn’t even have been able to run under state law but apparently nobody bothered since FL-20 is a solid blue seat (Cherfilus-McCormick won by 59 percent in the special), was found dead in his father’s home on July 4, 2023.
