St. Lucie County commissioner weighs congressional run
by George Bennett | June 5th, 2009Some Democrats hoped state Sen. Dave Aronberg, D-Greenacres, would challenge freshman U.S. Rep. Tom Rooney, R-Tequesta, next year. With Aronberg running for attorney general, many Democrats are waiting to see whether St. Lucie County Commissioner Chris Craft will run for Congress.

Craft has talked to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and said today he hopes to decide on a congressional race by sometime this summer.
With Aronberg out of the congressional picture, Craft said, “now we really step up the efforts to see what’s out there as far as the support network, not only financially but also what kind of ground troops.”

I’ll borrow money if I must to donate to Rooney’s campaign.

Craft doesn’t have a chance. Like a lot dems I really like Rooney. The guy’s honest and listens to people - rare traits in politicians these days. We need more like him in both parties.
