Florida’s State House District 97 seat is up for grabs in 2012 after Democrat legislator Marty Kiar announced that he would not be runnng for reelection and will running for State Senate in District 34 (correction!). That the Republican Party of Broward County was unable to recruit a single candidate last election cycle to challenge Kiar in a District that is not dominated by Democrats in voter registration- a clearly winnable district- was yet another sign of failure for the Broward GOP.
Enter one Merick Lewin of Davie, Florida. An engaging and youthful businessman, Lewin has announced his candidacy for the open seat and is already positioning himself as the probable frontrunner on the Republican side of the ballot. Lewin’s charisma and his small business background is likely to sway votes in his direction considering the current current sluggish economy and the pro-jobs economic narrative that is indispensable amongst current Republican candidates.

A big clarification, Martin Kiar is not challanging Ellyn Bogdanoff for her seat. He is running for Nan Rich’s seat which is district 34.
As a reader of your site, I would appreciate it also if you could revise your article to reflect that Marty Kiar is running for Nan Rich’s Senate seat and not Ellyn Bogdanoff’s seat. It is fair to the readers to have the all the correct facts. Thank you for all of the articles that you write.
I am not sure if my last post went through. I am an avid reader of your site but don’t want to put my correct email address down. However, as an avid reader I would appreciate it if you could change your post to reflect that Marty Kiar is running for Nan Rich’s seat and not against Ellyn. It is unfair to Ellyn and the residents for this mistake to be in your post. Also, I am looking forward to learning more about the young man running for Kiar’s open house seat.

Here is something we can do where even “Chairman MAO” DeNapoli can’t take revenge:
Every time you go somewhere he is likely to be (BREC meetings, RBN functions, other club functions) wear red. Why red: Red is the Republican color. Ironically, it is also the color of communism which style of leadership seems to have so much appeal for Chairman Q-tip and his Q-ettes.
WEAR RED TO OUST DeNAPOLI!
Kiar is not running against Bogdanoff dude.
Thanks you Merick for running. Its nice to see some young people getting involved in politics. I wish you the best of luck.
