Tuesday Tease: Adam Hasner, Jeremy Ring Facing Primary Challenge?

Adam Hasner and Marco Rubio

Sources say “Yes”! Despite tons of money, RNC backing and endorsements from Allen West and Jeb Bush, multiple sources say Adam Hasner will face a primary challenge from Broward County Commissioner Chip LaMarca. Two weeks ago, LaMarca announced the formation of an exploratory committee. Sources say all systems are go for a LaMarca candidacy. Both men are vying for the opportunity to soundly defeat Democrats Lois Frankel and Kristin Jacobs (D-Fair is Funny).

Other sources tell RED BROWARD that popular Florida Democrat State Senator Jeremy Ring will face a primary challenge. Perhaps, Ring is not so popular among Broward Democrat rank and file? Several Broward Democrat insiders see Ring as a DINO (Democrat In Name Only). Ring already has a Republican opponent, Geoffrey Summers of Boca Raton.

Broward Democrat Kristin Jacobs Kick Off Campaign For US Congress

Broward County Commisioner (and resident joke-teller) Kristin Jacobs (D-“Fair”) launched her campaign for US Congress at the old schoolhouse in Deerfield Beach. Jacobs was introduced by fellow commissioner, Bonny Prince Johnny Rodstrom.

A crowd of about 60 family members and Democrat activists listened as Jacobs gave a speech right out of the Clinton-era 1990s: “Save the oceans”, “build bridges” ” play by rules” and “livable wage”.

Funny thing, she didn’t mention President Barack Obama.

Jacobs played up her underdog role. Lois Frankel remains the Democrat frontrunner with more than a million dollars in the bank. The Democrat will face GOP candidate Adam Hasner who has the backing of the RNC, the NRCC, Congressman Allen West, and local GOPers State Senator Ellyn Bogdanoff and State Rep. George Moraitis.

Some notable Democrats in attendance: County Commisioner Lois Wexler, “Ethics” honcho Roy Rogers, BSO candidate Louis Granteed, School Board lobbyist and Rogers’ chum Lisa Maxwell, Allen West protest organizer Michael Rajner and Democrat operative Jack Shifrel.
