Sink Endorses Jany

Alex Sink (D), who lost to Rep. Dav­id Jolly (R) in the March spe­cial elec­tion, en­dorsed Mar­ine Corps vet­er­an Ed Jany (I) to chal­lenge Jolly in Novem­ber. “I urge every Pinel­las res­id­ent who is fed up with the grid­lock in Wash­ing­ton to join me in sup­port­ing the Col­on­el, so we can send a Mar­ine to clean up Con­gress,” she wrote in an email to sup­port­ers.

Jany is run­ning as an in­de­pend­ent even though he is a re­gistered Demo­crat be­cause of a state law that re­quires can­did­ates to be re­gistered with a party for a year be­fore run­ning on their tick­et. Jany was a Re­pub­lic­an un­til he switched parties “sev­er­al months” ago. (Saint­Peters­B­log)
