On Friday, Rep. Corrine Brown couldn’t make it to Jacksonville’s monthly Tiger Bay gathering. Her opponents in Congressional District 5, Al Lawson and L.J. Holloway, were there however.

One would expect One Door for Education, the fraudulent charity associated with Rep. Corrine Brown, to factor heavily in the Democratic primary in the newly drawn Congressional District 5.
