Curt Clawson Team Goes After Paige Kreegel on Super-PAC Ties

Businessman Curt Clawson is taking aim at former state Rep. Paige Kreegel in the increasingly contentious Republican primary to replace former U.S. Rep. Trey Radel, R-Fla., in Congress.

Clawsons team pointed to a voice mail they say is from Kreegel. A super-PAC backing Kreegel is running attack ads against Clawson and the Clawson camp insists there are questions about how involved Kreegel is in the operations of the Values are Vital super-PAC.

While this is for sure a shocker, and may mark the first time a candidate for federal office has so blatantly spoken for a super-PAC, the threatening message is in keeping with Paige Kreegels checkered past, said David James, a spokesman for Clawson. Sadly, Paige Kreegel thinks the laws he would be elected to make dont apply to him and indeed so-called values arent so vital to him. The people of Southwest Florida are fed up with insider politicians like Kreegel and deserve an outsider like Curt Clawson.
