George LeMieux Fires Back on Adam Hasner over Social Issues

On Thursday, after former state House Majority Leader Adam Hasner launched an ad connecting him with former Gov. Charlie Crist, former U.S. Sen. George LeMieux fired back at his rival in the Republican primary to challenge Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson on social issues.

The LeMieux team continued to hammer Hasners conservative credentials. They pointed to a Christian Coalition of Florida F grade of Hasners record in 2007 and claimed Hasner backed weakening parental consent laws on abortion. They also argued that Hasner voted against school choice for military families in 2004.

"You know it is quite an elaborate masquerade when a politician claims to be a conservative on values issues, but received an 'F' from the Christian Coalition, voted to deny school choice to military families, joined with liberals to weaken a pro-life bill, and sided with big labor more than almost every Republican," said Brian Seitchik, LeMieuxs campaign manager. That's Adam Hasner. That's not conservative."
