Daniel Webster, the GOP representative from the Orlando area who is now running for the GOP nomination in the 11th Congressional District, is up on the air with his televised commercial of the campaign season. The ad features what Webster says is Washington’s excessive spending ways. “I am committed to opposing legislation that irresponsibly spends taxpayer […]

As the year of the outsider — think Donald Trump — political partisanship could very well be a casualty of the 2016 election cycle. Take Congressman David Jolly, for example. On Tuesday, the Pinellas County Republican is listed as the special guest for a “friend-raising” luncheon event for Justin Grabelle, who faces longtime U.S. Rep. Dan Webster […]

Justin Grabelle is going up with his first television ad in his campaign to win Florida’s 11th Congressional District. The 34-year-old former chief-of-staff to outgoing CD 11 incumbent Rich Nugent is in an extremely competitive Republican primary campaign against Daniel Webster. Webster currently represents Florida’s 10th Congressional District, but opted to run in CD 11 once redistricting made his […]

Daniel Webster, the three-term Republican Representative from Central Florida now running in Congressional District 11 this year, is about to go on the air with his first television ad of the election cycle.

There are now calls for an independent investigation into Pam Bondi‘s decision not to investigate consumer complaints against Trump University, the for-profit education company created by Donald Trump that ran a real estate training program from 2005 until at least 2010 — and not just from Democrats. “Attorney General Pam Bondi owes Floridians a full accounting of […]

Spring Hill-based Congressman Rich Nugent is fighting mad about a Daniel Webster campaign mailer that uses his likeness without his support or consent. “It’s been brought to my attention that Dan Webster used my likeness in a campaign mailer to imply my support for his candidacy here and I don’t appreciate it,” Nugent said in […]

It’s starting to get testy in the Congressional District 11 GOP contest. Daniel Webster serves in Congress in CD 10, but after redistricting of his seat made his chances for re-election much more remote, he opted to run for the CD 11 seat that will be vacated later this year by GOP incumbent Rich Nugent. Justin Grabelle, Nugent’s […]

After visiting with Israel Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this month, Pinellas County Congressman and GOP Senate candidate David Jolly announced his support for increasing financial support to Israel.

As his colleague U.S. Rep. Dan Webster prepares to run against his former chief of staff to replace him in Congressional District 11, U.S. Rep. Rich Nugent wants it known his only support for Webster was tactical, not long term. On Monday, Webster, a Winter Garden Republican whose own Congressional District 10 was dramatically changed […]

With his chances of being re-elected in his current Congressional District 10 seat virtually nil after redistricting last summer, Orlando area GOP U.S. Rep. Daniel Webster announced Monday that he will run for the Congressional District 11 seat now held by Rich Nugent, who announced last year he will not run for re-election. “I’m running for […]
