Karen Harrington is Back for a Rematch with Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Karen Harrington announced on Monday that she will run once again for Conrgess against Democratic U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

Today, I formally announce my campaign for U.S. Congress, said Harrington, a restaurant owner who took almost 40 percent against Wasserman Schultz in 2010. For those of you who know me, you know me as a neighbor and small-business owner who has been privileged to serve the Broward community for nearly four decades.You also know that I am fully committed to ensuring that the peoples business throughout the district is not needlessly stifled by government intrusion. As Ive had the opportunity to listen and meet with the residents of the district out on the campaign trail over the past few years, it is very clear that your concerns mirror my concerns, about both our economy and the direction of our country, and we can no longer remain on the sidelines as our country slides into further debt and fiscal insolvency.

My campaign for U.S. Congress is not premised on towing a party line or walking in lockstep with the Republican establishment, added Harrington. The duty that comes before all others is safeguarding the prosperity and liberties of the people of the 20th Congressional District, and I will never waver in my resolve from that commitment.

It is my intention to broadly communicate our campaigns ideas to all voters throughout District 20, regardless of party affiliation, as to how we can preserve our prosperity and our liberties through common-sense and principled solutions that will put our country back on a fiscally sustainable path, Harrington said in conclusion. I will be a tireless advocate for proven ideas that roll back government regulation and taxation and allow South Floridas small businesses to prosper. Ours will be a campaign of new ideas and real hope for the future direction of our country, and I intend to take our campaigns message directly to the districts constituents early and often.
