FLORIDA: Ex state Rep. Kosmas to challenge "most corrupt" Rep. Feeney

Ex state Rep. Kosmas to challenge Congressman Feeney
11 Oct 2007 // http://www.citizensforethics.org/node/30262

Suzanne Kosmas recently let pollsters use her name to test the strength of Congressman Tom Feeney in his home district.

Now, Kosmas wants the contest to be for real.

The New Smyrna Beach Democrat announced her campaign Wednesday to oust the Republican incumbent from the U.S. House seat representing the 24th District.

"I took a look around and decided it was time for a change in Washington," Kosmas said.

Kosmas, 63, is a real estate business owner who is involved in numerous community groups and served in the Florida House from 1996 to 2004, when term limits prevented her from running again.

She's also considered the first legitimate challenger to Feeney, whom Democratic insiders see as vulnerable because of criticism targeting him as one of the "most corrupt" members of Congress.

1. Sad that she's considered the "first legitimate challenger" to Feeney.

What was Clint Curtis? Chopped liver?

3. We should not let it happen that he is disappeared as a candidate

If it follows the pattern then he will never be mentioned in the media.

2. Just like the other districts...FL 13, FL 16...another invisible candidate.

Clint Curtis will never be mentioned by name again.

Shades of Jan Schneider and David Lutrin among others.
