Her expertise in elderly concerns prompted Gov. Jeb Bush to cross party lines and appoint her as a Long-Term Care Ombudsman for the region. Waters has shown enthusiasm for the job but an insufficient grasp of the complex issues facing Florida. She cites as one of her two major accomplishments in her first term a bill that allows insurance agents to get continuing education on-line. In this matchup, the people of District 51 should be delighted to see Mary Brennan back on the ballot. She has fought for campaign reform, for openness and accountability in government, and for strong environmental protections, and has shown herself unafraid to challenge legislative leaders who would disagree.
Many politicians like to fashion themselves as the people's candidate.
Brennan truly is. We strongly recommend her. St. Petersburg Times.
