| The Blue Wave in U.S. Congressional District 27 |
In a press release, Congressional hopeful, David Richardson said it was "Effectively a two-person race." I guess he must mean that Matt Haggman dropped out and Kristen Rosen Gonzalez. Really? Did they? In this poll Haggman and Richardson are running neck and neck. I guess things have changed since January. I called Matt Haggman and he was bewildered by the quote about 2 candidates. He said his campaign was moving full speed ahead.
Anyway Richardson's release makes the Lennar, a Florida based development company, connection with Donna Shalala. The only problem is, Lennar gave U of M gobs of money during her tenure on the Lennar board (She was also U of M President). It is hard to fault her with that Lennar connection if she was to do right by the University she headed. But, did that have anything to do with the Pine-Rockland property sale... that is, she was a developer flunky for a while and learned some evil ways.
�I owe it to the voters to hold Donna Shalala accountable for what she is: a double-dealing corporate Democrat." - David RicardsonMatt Haggman said:
My campaign isn't about the other candidates in the race, it�s about the people of Florida 27 and how we can work together as a community to usher in a new era in our politics. We have been taking our message directly to voters on a daily basis. Our team of volunteers has already knocked on nearly 6,000 doors across the district. The incredible response we�ve received from voters is what keeps me energized and optimistic about a new day where politics is about the people not the politicians.
