Democratic Rep. Irv Slosberg of Boca Raton, wearing a bright orange "Let Irv Serve" ball cap, moved from one Senate race to another in the final hour of qualifying, and will challenge Sen. Jeff Clemens, D-Lake Worth, in an Aug. 30 primary for the District 31 Senate seat in Palm Beach County.
"Let the people decide," said Slosberg, whose residence is in Senate District 29, where another incumbent, Democratic Rep. Kevin Rader, is running. The 29th district dips into northern Broward County, while the 31st is wholy within Palm Beach, including Delray Beach, Boynton Beach and Lake Worth.
"It's going to be a bloodbath," said a Democratic operative who was part of the crowd hanging out at the state elections headquarters in Tallahassee.

Clemens response? "I'm not surprised at all," Clemens said Friday. "I've been hearing for weeks that Republicans were trying to find a Democrat to run against me, and it appears they finally found their man."
The new districts are crazy !
ReplyDeleteNothing surprising about Democrats blaming Republicans. They have been doing that for years and still blaming Bush. Sorry a*ses.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a wonderful thing to get rid of Jeff Clemens!
ReplyDeleteClemens might have his hands full here. People love Irv.
