This response is submitted by the undersigned counsel on behalf of Friends of Trey Radel, Inc. ("Committee") and Barbara Bisriette, Treasurer, in response to the Complaint designated as Matter Under Review 6699. The Complaint in this matter was filed by Sheiyl Wooley, the campaign manager for Chauncey Goss, who ran against Mr. Radel in the Primary election for the Republican nomination to Congress from the 19''' Congressional District ("CD") in Florida. The Complaint alleges that the Committee sent a solicitation to Ms. Shirley A, Wood of Cape Coral, FL 33914, sometime in September of 2012. Further, that Shirley A. Wood is a fictitious name used in salted FEC reports filed by the Goss campaign, using the true address of Ms. Wooley. The Committee was shocked and surprised to receive the Complaint alleging a violation of 2 U.S.C §438(a)(4) and 11 C.F.R. §104.15 (a). At no time did the Committee sanction; suggest or knowingly use any information obtained from FEC reports for the purpose of soliciting contributions to the Committee.

During an election year where Florida elects a new Governor and Cabinet, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement at the very top of the ballot, but there’s more to this election than who Florida elects as its new Governor . As the saying goes, all politics is local . And that’s more important than ever . This year, all 120 seats in the Florida House, 22 seats in the Florida Senate, 27 Congressional seats and one U .S . Senate seat are up for election . Additionally, there are 12 proposed amendments to the Florida Constitution . Several amendments are currently in litigation and ultimately may not make the ballot . We hope you’ll agree that it’s incredibly important for all Floridians to be well-informed and have their voices heard on November 6 .
