I'm not concerned with who releases the most ads in which the candidate "talks about the issues." If a candidate has more financial resources, he or she can easily win at this game. It's not an important contest.

YOU OFFEND all citizens with your sleazy tactics. Vern, grow up, quit hiding behind truckloads of $$$$$$$$ that can send out DAILY MAILINGS that are so disgusting, I BURNED the one I got today.

He is on the Ways and Means Committee and has brought the Speaker of the House to Sarasota to meet with the local people.
