DCCC's Statement On Foley's Resignation

The DCCC just released this statement on Rep. Mark Foley's (R) resignation:

Tim Mahoney, the Democratic candidate in FL-16, has been conducting a vigorous campaign for more than a year and running television ads for almost a month. He has raised over $700,000 and he’s personally donated an additional $349,000.

In the latest poll in the district, conducted by Hamilton Beattie and completed September 14th, Foley was under 50%, Senator Nelson was ahead and President Bush’s approval rating was below its level in the rest of the state. Senator Graham won this district in his last election.

Tim Mahoney is a father, business owner and moderate Democrat. He is the co-founder, Chairman and COO of vFinance, Inc and the founder and President of The Center for Innovative Entrepreneurship. Since its inception five years ago, vFinance has grown to become a $26 million provider of financial services in the retail brokerage, investment banking and institutional service businesses. The company manages in excess of $1 billion of client assets and has over 200 employees located in more than 30 offices nationwide.

Foley’s name cannot be removed from the general election ballot.
