Broward County Commissioner Ken Keechl announced late last week that he would not seek the Democratic nomination for the District 91 seat in the Florida House of Representatives, a run that until then had widely been expected. The announcement came less than two days after Republican Yomin Postelnik announced his candidacy for the seat being vacated by current Representative Ellyn Bogdanoff. Bogdanoff is running for the Florida Senate and is the clear frontrunner to replace State Senator Jeff Atwater, who announced his bid for State Chief Financial Officer late last month.
When Bogdanoff, a former foster mother with extensive community ties outside of the political realm, announced that she was leaving the seat, Republicans seemed hard pressed to find a candidate with a similar record of involvement in the District. But Postelnik's candidacy brings with it a series of accomplishments for the community at large.

FReeper Yomin Postelnik is running for FL State Rep. in a winnable district for us. Let’s give him some words of encouragement.
Godspeed on your run for the FL House. We need to keep both houses conservative, especially as the post-2010 Census redistricting approaches.
Good luck Mr. Postelnik.
As an aside I’m glad to hear we’re favored to hold Atwater’s Senate seat. It’s certainly winnable by the rats.
Field Marshal,
Thanks so much! I really appreciate your kind words. There are serious issues that need addressing and I’m committed to running a campaign that will make fellow FReepers and the District proud. Thanks so much for your encouragement.
Blessings,
Yomin
Thank you! Redistricting will be one serious fight. The trickle down of Obama’s bailout insanity and its entry into state policy is another. A good economy is also a values issue, and states taking part in the bailout doesn’t make for bright economic conditions.
Thanks, and please call me Yomin. Ellyn Bogdanoff will do a great job holding that Atwater seat. Thanks so much for your encouragement in District 91.
