You do know who she is. It's just been awhile.

Rebekah Jones is an American geographer, data scientist, and activist. She managed the team that created the widely praised Florida Department of Health's COVID-19 dashboard using ArcGIS software. She was fired from her position in May 2020, which she said was due to her refusal to misrepresent COVID-19 data. In May 2021, she was granted whistleblower protections while the state investigated her allegations. In May 2022, Florida's Office of Inspector General found her claims to be unsubstantiated or unfounded, and exonerated officials she accused of wrongdoing. After her complaints were dismissed, Jones published a forgery of the notice she received from the Florida Commission on Human Relations, which she claimed validated her whistleblower claims. In December 2022, she signed a deferred prosecution agreement admitting guilt to unauthorized use of the state's emergency alert system on November 10, 2020, which resulted in her home being raided by police in December 2020.

In the 2022 U.S. House of Representatives elections in Florida, Jones was the Democratic Party nominee against Matt Gaetz for Florida's 1st congressional district;[1] she was defeated on November 8, 2022.[2]
