Second Congressional District Gets Another Candidate

August 10th, 2015 by Mike Vasilinda

Flanked by a former Speaker of the Florida House and an array of political consultants, Neal Dunn, a Panama City surgeon has filed to runs for Congress from the soon to be redrawn second Congressional district. Dunn has a long family history of military service, including his own as an Army Surgeon. He says he will think twice before sending troops to war.

“And I promise you that I will never never cast a vote to send anyone’s child, son or daughter, to fight for this country unless we give them the tools to win, and they have the complete backing, and I mean complete backing of the United States government.”

As the Panama City surgeon announced his run fro Congress this morning, two protestors stood across the street from the Florida Press Center holding larger than life size checks written to Democrats. They are trying to make the point that Panama City surgeon Neal Dunn has given money to democrats in the past. They question his loyalty to the Republican party. Dunn says he regrets the donations.

Congressional Candidate (R)

“And every now and then you make a donation, maybe as a favor to friend. I wish I hadn’t done it, you know. They’re small. And in the general context of all the donations that we’ve made politically, contributions and the money we’ve raised and the support that we’ve shown, this is disingenuousÍ to call that support for a liberal candidate.”

Dunn says he has raised hundreds of thousands for republican Candidates and has personally contributed more than 60 thousand of his own money. Dunn also says he made the decision to run before courts ordered the district redrawn. Initial maps make the district much more friendly to Republican candidates. A Tallahassee Attorney, Mary Thomas has also filed to run in the seat.
