Tim Canova is an economist and attorney who has done some work in the global justice movement. A Sanders progressive Democrat running for office in Florida, challenging Debora Wasserman-Schultz.

Highlights of his career include a rapid rise to tenure in law universities.

Successfully led push to change New Mexico's laws that prevented ex-felons from voting.

Selected to join advisory committee to reform the Federal Reserve Bank. Also taught a class at Occupy Los Angeles on the FRB.

Supports Sanders platform points to reinstate a new Glass Steagall Act. Opposed reinstating Alan Greenspan. Opposes TPP. Opposed normalizing trade relations with China.

A WIN for TIM would knock out DNC CHAIR DEBORA WASSERMAN-SHULTZ.

The big gray area on his campaign site is his position on Israel, given his repeated mentions of his time in Israel. He's a liberal on it, and against expanding settlements, but that seems to be the extent of it. See Reddit for details. No info about BDS.
