Welcome to

Candidate for Chief Financial Officer Loranne Ausley has called her opponent Jeff Atwater a coward and told him to man up and now she’s taking the fight to his back yard.

Atwater is refusing to debate Ausley, so today the tri-athlete jumped on her bike and is peddling 400 miles to Atwater’s home in West Palm Beach to call him out. In the past candidates have walked the state for votes. Ausley says the time for walking has passed.

“The problems in Tallahassee right now are far too urgent for a walk or even for a run. I want Floridians to know exactly what kind of fighter I am and I will do what ever it takes to hold politicians like Jeff Atwater accountable. If that mean biking from these capitol steps to Jeff Atwater’s backyard, so be it,” said Ausley.

Atwater’s campaign says he was prepared to debate Ausley on Univision October 21st and that Atwater attended two candidate forums that Ausley didn’t attend. And while their campaign says they’re impressed with Ausley’s physical fitness, a spokesman says being CFO takes financial fitness that they belief Ausley lacks.
