Only way he became a Representative was because he inherited the late Bill Young organization upon Young’s death [2013]. He was his ‘general counsel’ and got the seat on the replacement special election. I voted for him as the alternative to the Democrat but not for him personally. Always smelled of RINO Deep State and this is proof of that.
This Congressional District (FL CD13) got changed in the prior election to include a significant minority population in St.Petersburg that swung the default from Red to Blue. Our current Congress-critter is the skin-shifting Charlie Crist who went from GOP Governor (following JEB!) to Independent running for Senate in 2010 after losing to Rubio in the GOP Primary to becoming a Democrat running for FL Governor against Rick Scott in 2014 and then ran against Jolly as ‘D’ in 2016 and (finally) winning.
Crist is my congress critter to and I never hear from him. Gus Bilirakis was my congressman for years and he did a great job of informing his constituents.
