NRCC Fires Back at Alex Sink for Taking Lobbyist Cash

Former state CFO Alex Sink, the Democratic candidate in the special congressional election for an open congressional seat representing parts of Pinellas County, has made political hay out of Republican rival David Jollys lobbying background. But the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) hit back on Friday, noting that Sink has pulled in more than $10,800 from lobbyists for her campaign.

Alex Sink has turned off voters in Pinellas County with her hypocritical campaign rhetoric and her unwavering support for Obamacare, said Katie Prill, a spokeswoman for the NRCC. Pinellas families deserve an independent voice in Washington, but Alex Sink is proving to be just another mouthpiece for the liberal Washington establishment.

Sink, Jolly and Libertarian Lucas Overby meet in the election on March 11.
