As another campaign season comes to conclusion, the spotlight is on the candidates who were successful in yesterday's election. Congratulations go out to Congresswoman Ginny Brown-Waite for her re-election and to our new freshman state representative for district 44, Robert Schenck. Both of these candidates had clear, concise campaign messages that resonated positively with the citizens. Newly elected David Russell will bring a wealth of knowledge to the county commission to complement the talents of fellow, sitting Commissioner Jeff Stabins. A special thank you needs to be expressed to Commissioner Nancy Robinson and school board member, John Druzbick for their 26 years of combined, dedicated experience leading our county into the 21st century. We all owe Nancy and John a debt of gratitude for their selfless dedication to public service and they will be sorely missed by their many supporters.
**Congratulations to Lara Bradburn for her win as new Brooksville City Council member. Lara's energy and enthusiasm will certainly be an asset for the city!

You neglect to mention that these two had a huge financial advantage due to special interest contributions, and were therefore able to out-speech their opponents. Especially in the Schenck race, it seems that money advantage provided by the special interests made all the difference. What does that say about whose priorities get the most attention from our new state rep---the general public or his campaign contributors? We'll be watching.
