Mahoney Releases Statement

Businessman Tim Mahoney (D) released a statement on Rep. Mark Foley's (R)resignation:

The challenges facing Congressman Foley make this is a difficult time for the people of the 16th district. The families of all of those involved are in our thoughts and prayers.

When Terry and I decided to run for Congress one year ago, we did so because we believe every child deserves to live their American dream and every generation has the responsibility to give their children a world that is safer, more moral, and offers them the opportunity to live that dream.

We have been running a spirited campaign on the issues important to the people of the 16th Congressional District: issues like homeowners’ insurance, healthcare, education, dignity for our seniors, winning the War on Terror and we will continue to do so.

Over the past year I have spoken to thousands of Floridians and their message is clear: Floridians are ready for a change.

They want a Congressman who will work in a spirit of bipartisanship to restore their values to Washington and who will make sure that we are taking care of their interests and not special interests.

Our work is not complete. I look forward to continuing our campaign and working with Florida families to build a stronger future. Together we can get America back on track.

No statement can make it good now.
Foley's case is a very smeary one.
I wonder how people like him can make it into congress at all.

Thank you for sharing this story with me !

I wonder what chance Mahoney actually has in the general election, Bush carried Florida's 16th district by more than 10 points.
