This week, voters of US Congressional district 23 received a mailer from Karen Harrington attacking her Republican opponent Ozzie DeFaria. The piece featured information from a July 2005 police report filed by Lee Martin. In October 2005, as part of large corruption investigation of former Sheriff Ken Jenne, Detective Martin was arrested for filing false police reports.
The Sun Sentinel reported at the time of his arrest, “As part of the fallout from the crime statistics scandal still rocking the Broward Sheriff’s Office, the agency Friday fired a deputy after an internal investigation concluded he falsified records to close cases. Lee Martin, 41, was a detective in the Weston/Southwest Ranches district, but in October 2005, was suspended with pay. Last October, the Sheriff’s Office stopped paying him.Martin’s termination, requiring several sheriff’s officials’ signatures, comes just days before another suspended deputy, Shane Campbell, 33, is set to go to trial on felony charges stemming from the scandal, which became public in 2004.” Even though BSO fired Martin, an arbitrator eventually forced his reinstatement.
Additionally, law enforcement insiders tell RED BROWARD that Martin has been escorting Democrat Sheriff candidate Louis Granteed all around town. Sources say Martin escorted Granteed’s Democrat primary challenger Scott Israel in 2008. One can assume that Martin will never escort Broward Sheriff Al Lamberti (R-Republican) anywhere.
Perhaps the Harrington campaign will double check their sources next time? Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Out Of Touch) would have a field day with a Republican opponent quoting a disgraced Democrat operative.
Karen Harrington, Ozzie DeFaria, Gineen Bresso, Juan Eliel Garcia and Joe Kaufman face off for the CD 23 Republican nomination on August 14, 2012.
The CD 23 candidates will debate on Thursday August 2 7:00pm at the Hollywood Beach Culture and Community 1301 South Ocean Blvd, Hollywood. The debate will be moderated by veteran WPLG/Local 10 political reporter Michael Putney.

Together WE CAN FIRE DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ!
“WIN WITH GIN”
Vote for Ozzie, the only qualified candidate in the CD 23 race. A definate jobs creator.
Take a spelling course please
So by your logic Ozzie should have vetted the cop filing the police report and insisted that he be assigned a cop more in line with his politics?
I can’t wait for your next hard-hitting headline –
“Karen Harrington’s Mailer Delivered by a Mailman Known to Kick Dogs”.
Ozzie suffers from narcisistic personality disorder and would get chewed up by DWS in the general.
Gineen is a Dem plant that has the stench of establishment DC all over her and wasn’t registered to vote in FL until June ’12.
Joe is a one trick pony on the terror issue and is over the top manic on the stump.
Juan and Karen are the only viable candidates.
Lanny…You are not spinning so well this evening Sir. First, Gineen Bresso is clearly NOT a Dem plant. The woman was General Counsel to the National Young Republican Federation & a POTUS-GW Bush Nominee to the EAC & approved by the Senate. She’s, been living in FL for several years now. Karen Harrington however, became a Republican just 6 days before filing to run last election & Juan Garcia just landed after DeFaria entered the race. What makes either Harrington, the HS drop out, or Juan, the garbage man viable to run for Congress and take on DWS?? Dude, you truly have been smoking some bad azz stuff & really, really need to stop. Go to rehab now, come back to reality and recognize the reality here. Please!
Qualifications? Juan and Karen aren’t petulant children like Ozzie and they’re not lawyers.
I’ll vote for someone who slings either hash or trash to make an honest living any day, and twice on Sundays, rather than send another lawyer or egomaniac like Ozzie to D.C..
A vote for Karen Harrrington, the DEM plant, is a vote for DWS! Some Republican you are! Glad you are only one person! And more glad the voters in CD-23 know the truth! Have a nice life Dumbass!
Yo Lanny my Boy! We have spoken before. I thought better of you actually. Bresso held a Republican Seat at the EAC & testified to Congress against her own budget last year & she’s a what??? C’mon man!!! Really???
Mea culpa. I just received Gineen’s letter addressed to BREC comitteemen. In it she explains that she entered the race so late because her position at the EAC prohibited her from engaging in political activities. That’s the first time I’ve heard this, and I’ve heard Gineen speak several times. The “whispers” were that Gineen was planted by DWS to rob votes from Karen, the only other woman in the race. I was duped by the plausibility of it.
You really are a F’ing moron, wow!! I didn’t know we had people in our party as F’ing stupid as you are! You’re an embarrassment to all true conservative Republicans in the US and should be ashamed of yourself for even saying such a thing. Wow, you believe a lifelong Republican, who worked for all Republicans, including Pres. G.W. Bush was somehow involved with DWS. Wow, I’m speechless. You truly are STUCK ON STUPID! The only one who has duped you is Karen Harrington. We can only hope the people of CD-23 aren’t as naive, gullable, and yes, STUPID as you are! You’re a total dumbass!
You believe W was a conservative and you’re calling ME the moron?
I’ll be contributing $, door knocking, and phone banking for WHOEVER wins the primary. Will you?
To defeat DWS we need the most qualified and electable candidate that can attract all types of voters, and that person is Juan Eliel Garcia.
Vote Juan Eliel in the primaries on Aug. 14th!
visit http://www.juanelielforcongress.com to see why
Yes Jenny. We will elect based upon what qualifications that make him congressional??? Electable? His experience is…? What make him qualified to be in congress is…? uhhh, he can beat a 5 term congresswoman and DNC chair Debbie because…? Chica, seriously, get a life!! You’ve been smoking too much of the same stuff Lanny’s been smoking. Please honey, stop!!!
Dukaka…..first of all who can take you serious with a name like that. You summed up what you are full of …caca! Since you are apparently incapable of visiting the website for yourself I’ll give you a brief summary. What makes Juan congressional, electable, and qualified is his well-rounded past. He joined the National Guard and served for six years as a 91B combat medic, where he was recognized for his bravery and courage after risking his own life to save others. Furthermore, he was appointed senior operations manager Waste Management, a top fortune 500 company and holds a flawless management track record. Today, he is a business development consultant helping others in this rough economy, in addition to hosting a popular radio show at La Nueva 88.3 FM. Recently, he was recognized by the United States Congress for his outstanding and invaluable service to the community as a successful Hispanic leader. In case you were unaware everyone is sick of Debbie, and it is a proven fact that Juan has the qualifications necessary to attract the hispanic and independent votes to get DWS out of office. If your vote is for any one else, it’s clear that you are the one that’s been smoking a bite too much.
Harrington runs a very despicable attack campaign.
Karen ignored Ozzie’s attacks and lies as long as she could. Would you remain silent if someone lied about your character and people began to question it?
Besides, what’s so despicable about pointing out something that would come out in the general anyway? Isn’t that the point of a primary – to end up with the best, most viable candidate?
At the end of the day, a vote for Ozzie is a vote for DWS,
NO, DUMBASS! As I have said before, a vote for Karen, IS a vote for DWS! Now crawl back under your rock and rot! It is people like you who deserve Obama and DWS & are helping to destroy the fabric of our great nation. I can only hope you cease to exist before the USA does!
Old Mac, you’re quite the keyboard commando.
Congrats Ted Cruz & the USA!!
Next stop we replace Debbie Wasserman Schultz with Gineen Bresso & Obama with Mitt Romney!
C’mon America! We can do this!!
