Unfortunately it looks like I was wrong about this open seat quickly evolving into a two person race. I hope it doesn’t end up like the last Florida U.S. Senate primary where every week we had a new “Connie Mack IV challenger” being floated. We need to rally around one non-LaThug candidate soon.
Latest person to express interest in opposing LaThug is ED Brady — Bill Brady’s younger brother:
State Rep. Dan Brady (no relation to Bill and Ed but a cousin or something of PAT Brady) has also been mentioned as considering it. He's a combiner, yes? It's hard to see him running against LaThug. Too many Bradys and Ryans in this state.
Politics1.com lists State Rep. Tom Demmer as a potential candidate but I don't know if he's actually expressed interest.
Bill Brady, Bobby Schilling, and Jil Tracy are the "big 3" choices.
