TALLAHASSEE, FL – The Florida Democratic Party today released the following statement congratulating Democrat and school teacher Karen Castor Dentel on her decisive election victory in House District 30.

STATEMENT FROM FL DEMS CHAIR ROD SMITH: 

“We congratulate Karen Castor Dentel on her decisive victory tonight. Throughout her career, Karen has been a strong advocate for children and families in central Florida and she will take that same leadership to Tallahassee.

“Karen’s victory tonight is not just a win for middle class families but for those who are tired of the broken politics of the Republicans in Tallahassee. After waging what was one of the most despicable campaigns in American politics – fueled with special interests cash – Will Weatherford and the Republican’s false, disgusting attacks against  a mother and schoolteacher will not be forgotten.
