Political Unknown Scott Fortune Taking on Corrine Brown

Submitted by Kevin Derby on May 4, 2010 - 1:27pm

Scott Fortune, an attorney based out of Jacksonville Beach, has challenged Congresswoman Corrine Brown in the Democratic primary.

Fortune is a political unknown. How unknown? Despite calling Jacksonville home for over two and a half decades and following its politics very closely, I have never heard of him. Apparently I am not alone. Duval County Democratic Party Chairman Travis Bridges knew the name but did not know much else about Fortune.

Fortune has made no attempt to reach out to the Democratic Party of Duval County, said Bridges, who is remaining neutral in the primary contest.

The Fortune campaign has set up a website with links to its candidates law firm and to Fair Districts Florida. The campaign also posted an article about one of Fortunes cases, in which his client won $1 million from Southern Bell after being racially harassed.
