RPOF Gives Thumbs Up to Curt Clawson

Florida's newest congressman, Curt Clawson, won the praise of the Republican Party of Florida after he clinched the CD 19 House seat on Tuesday.

"The Republican Party of Florida congratulates Congressman-elect Curt Clawson on his well-earned victory tonight," said RPOF Chairman Leslie Dougher. "Congressman-elect Clawson will undoubtedly serve his district with distinction, bringing true conservative values to our nations capital."

Curt Clawson, who hails from from Bonita Springs, Fla., will replace former U.S. Rep. Trey Radel, who resigned from his post after pleading guilty to misdemeanor possession of cocaine.

Clawson will have to run for re-election in November.
