Glo Smith Beats Twee Lowe to Take on Corrine Brown

Former gubernatorial aide Glo Smith beat businesswoman Twee Lowe on Tuesday in the Republican primary to challenge U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown, D-Fla., in November. With more than 63 percent of votes counted, Smith took 63.5 percent while Lowe garnered 36.5 percent of the votes cast.

Smith will have an uphill climb against Brown who has represented parts of North Florida in Congress since first winning her seat in 1992. Brown represents a solidly Democratic district.
