As Corrine Brown says she is running, Al Lawson, her main opponent in the Congressional District 5 Democratic primary, qualified for the ballot Friday by petition.
Lawson now has over 2,298 verified petitions.
“I have always thought that the voice of the people was the most important. I am very honored to have their support, and will continue to look out for the interests of North Florida,” says Lawson in a press release, “It’s a privilege to have their backing.”
“All too often,” Lawson says in what could be a dig at Brown, “elected officials lose touch with the real issues affecting their districts. I want to make sure that the person representing my district has the people’s best interest at heart.”
Lawson may be behind in the money race, but as the first major Democrat to qualify for CD 5, he won the Friday news cycle against Brown.
