"I will be an independent and effective voice for working families, children and seniors in this district, dnd ensure that their interests - not the special interests - are represented in congress," Kosmos said. "This is a time for change in Washington, and I will work towards building consensus rather than engaging in lock-step partisan politics."
She will face longtime Feeney nemesis Clint Curtis in the primary. The smart money is that Kosmas would make a better opponent than Curtis. The establishment will back her. The Florida Democratic Party and DCCC viewed Curtis as a sure loser. Kosmas was the former Democratic leader in the Florida House. Feeney conceded she is a better candidate.
Feeney said, noting he's glad Kosmas has legislative experience. "I would rather run against someone with a record. It's a bad environment for politicians. I'll post my record against anyone."
I received grief for backing Christine Jennings over Jan Schneider. Jennings nearly won a red district noted for voting machine problems. Curtis can't raise the money to compete with Feeney. He doesn't have a chance. Netroots support alone isn't enough.
Did you know Kosmos is Ethically Challenged as well!

But Kosmas has seen controversy too.
In 1998, she was part of a two-member board that recommended Volusia County purchase a $25,300 sculpture for a local library -- more than twice the county's allocated $12,000 budget.
Artist Doris Leeper withdrew the entry after it was revealed that the two women were friends and that Leeper had contributed $1,000 to Kosmas' political campaign.
"It was not a conflict of interest in my mind," Kosmas said. "This was a local artist who did phenomenal work."
Do the right thing vote Clint Curtis for Dist 24.
Crooks, all crooks, an oxymoron Honest Politicians, get real!
