Alvin Peters to Challenge Southerland

November 8th, 2011 by flanews

A Panama City lawyer is challenging Steve Southerland for his congressional seat.

Democrat Alvin Peters announced his candidacy today. He says Southerland isn�t doing enough to create jobs. Peters wants a high tax rate for people earning more than 106-thousand dollars and says the federal government should bailout construction workers.

�Construction workers and housing has essentially been decimated and brought to a halt in many parts of the state and throughout this district and I think the federal government has a role to play in restarting that industry,� said Peters.

Peters hopes to challenge Southerland, but it�s a redistricting year and the boundaries haven�t been drawn yet, which means Peters and Southerland may not end up in the same district.
