HOUSE DISTRICT 97
(West Broward, including parts of Cooper City, Coral Springs, Davie, Parkland, Plantation, Southwest Ranches, Sunrise and Weston)
Background: Two Republicans are vying for the chance to take on incumbent Rep. Martin Kiar, a Democrat elected in 2006. One GOP hopeful, Todd Goberville, director of sales for Pro-Frame Contracting and chairman of the Florida Federation of Young Republicans, is already getting fund-raising help from some heavy-hitters, including former Rep. Susan Goldstein, who lost her seat to Kiar in 2006. According to the Miami Herald, other Broward Republicans, including Sharon Day, Chip LaMarca and Ed Pozzuoli, are also raising money for Goberville. Rene Pazmino, student body president at Broward Community College, is also running as a Republican in the race. Homeowners insurance rates, healthcare affordability, class size, the environment and taxes are several issues expected to dominate the race.
