Mary Vonne Devensky, a supporter of the Alachua County Labor Coalition says she's sailing the Gainesville seas, to protest Congressman Ted Yoho and his campaign contributors.

"I'm here demonstrating our poor representative of the voters,” Vonne Devensky said.

Dozens of residents dressed as pirates came out in their eye patches and pirate hats on SW 34th St. but it wasn't to ask for gold coins.

"The idea is that if Ted Yoho isn't going to listen to its constituents when we call or when we protest at his office, we'll hit him where it hurts, which is where his money is,” Timothy Tia, one of the protest organizers, said.

Tia says that place is the Crime Prevention Security Systems office they protested in front of.

According to the Federal Election Commission, the company's co owners, John A. Pastore Jr. and Randi Elrad did donate a total of $2,000 to Ted Yoho's campaign this past year.

Company attorneys say coalition members made slanderous remarks about the company and sent out a cease and desist letter, saying:

“CPSS employs over 100 people and does not endorse or contribute to Federal political causes or candidates. Your assertions that CPSS is the second largest donor to Ted Yoho is completely without merit and therefore untrue."

Some voters like Vonne Devensky say no matter who donated what, she just wants Yoho out of office.

"I think we need to look for people who are more representative of the voters in this area."

We contacted Yoho's office in Washington, but they had no comment on the protest.

Despite some opposition, Yoho is running for re-election for next year's term.
