Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris, who hit the > national spotlight during last fall's presidential election recount, > announced Tuesday she is running for Congress. > "In light of the recent tragedy, I am more committed than ever to serving the > president and our nation," the Republican said in a statement. "As a nation > we have united to overcome this challenge, and the bonds of our courage and > strength to do what is right inspires us to succeed." > Harris, 44, wants to replace Republican Dan Miller, who represents the 13th > congressional district that encompasses her hometown of Sarasota. Miller said > he plans to retire when his fifth term ends next year. > Harris' only announced opponent is Republican Chester Flake, a 27-year-old > computer consultant making his first try for political office. > Flake had said earlier that he intended to ask Harris to step down as > secretary of state if she ran for Congress. > "It's a tremendous conflict of interest," Flake said, noting that the > secretary of state's office oversees Florida elections. > Harris became well known during the five-week recount that sent George W. > Bush to the White House. She became a favorite target of Democrats and took a > drubbing in the media, but won praise from Republicans for her handling of > the recount. She also helped push through a $32 million election reform > package to quiet critics. > More recently, she has been under scrutiny for her office's international > travel. > Last week, Harris fired her inspector general and her office was criticized > in a state audit that said her employees sometimes flew business- or > first-class to foreign cities rather than the less expensive coach, violating > state travel regulations. > Sarasota County Republican Party Chairman Tramm Hudson said Harris should win > the heavily Republican district easily, even though she will be a political > target. > "She may be used as a poster child to raise money for other Democratic > congressional candidates," Hudson said. "But in the 13th Congressional > district, the Democrats would be hard pressed to find a legitimate opponent" > for her. > A former Democrat who became a Republican in 1986, Harris cannot seek > re-election as secretary of state because voters decided to make it an > appointed office when her current term ends in January 2003. > > <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> > DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER > ========== > CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
