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.

George LeMieux Dominates Florida Federation Of Republican Women Straw Poll; Connie Mack Finishes Last

On Sunday, Broward native George LeMieux won the Florida Federation Of Republican Women (FFRW) US Senate straw poll. Sources tell RED BROWARD it was an “overwhelming” win for the LeMieux campaign. Mike McCalister was a distant second. Connie Mack, the current GOP frontrunner came in last.

FFRW president Cindy Graves told the Miami Herald the group would not release the vote totals, however our sources say LeMieux dominated the poll garnering most of the 140 or so votes. They said Mack came away with less than 10% of the votes.

The Associated Press reported on the FFRW forum:

“LeMieux was the only one of three candidates to directly contrast his positions with a primary opponent, saying Mack’s proposal to cut the federal budget by 1 percent each year for the next six years doesn’t go far enough. He also characterized Mack’s support of defunding the United Nations as unrealistic. And he pointed out that Mack has sought earmarks as a congressman while LeMieux said he didn’t seek any during his time in the Senate.

‘I don’t need earmarks because I don’t want to stay there forever,’ said LeMieux, who said he would serve no more than two terms if elected. ‘This is the difference between people who want to serve and career politicians.'”
