Florida Hometown Democracy names Campaign Manager

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Feb. 23, 2009

TALLAHASSEE - Julie Hauserman has been named campaign manager for Florida Hometown Democracy, Constitutional Amendment 4 on the November 2010 ballot.

Hauserman is a long-time Florida writer and political activist. She was a reporter for the Capitol bureau of the St. Petersburg Times, The Tallahassee Democrat, and The Stuart News, and has worked for the past several years as a consultant to numerous environmental and political groups.

“I’ve been covering issues about Florida growth for two decades,” Hauserman said. “I’ve watched the ugly strip-mall sprawl get worse and the quality of our communities deteriorate. At the same time, out-of-state corporations who don’t care about our hometowns build badly-planned developments, fill their pockets, and leave taxpayers to pay the bills for clogged roads, crowded schools, and polluted waters.”

“Florida Hometown Democracy is a way for us – the ordinary citizens who love Florida – to win back our votes from the special interests.”
