Democrats jump into Tampa, Miami house races

BY THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

With Rep. Ed Narain, D-Tampa, and Rep. Daphne Campbell, D-Miami, running for the Senate this year, two more Democrats have opened campaign accounts to run for their House seats. Tampa Democrat Dianne Hart opened an account Friday to try to replace Narain in Hillsborough County's House District 61, according to the state Division of Elections website. Also running for the seat is Democrat Sean Shaw, a former state insurance consumer advocate. Meanwhile, in South Florida, Miami Democrat Roy Hardemon opened an account as a first step toward trying to succeed Campbell in Miami-Dade County's House District 108. Hardemon joined five other Democrats --- Taj Collie-Echoles, Fayola Delica, Moise Duge, Francesca Menes and Marie Erlande Steril --- in seeking the seat.
