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.
