15th CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT CANDIDATE ALAN COHN DOES HIS FIRST NATIONAL TELEVISION INTERVIEW

***National television host calls FL-15 race between Alan Cohn and Congressman Dennis Ross “One of the most interesting races in the Country.”***

Tampa, Fl– In an interview with former MSNBC host and current Host and Co- Founder of The Young Turks Network Cenk Uygur, former ABC Action News Chief Investigative Reporter and current Congressional candidate Alan Cohn condemned Rep. Dennis Ross for having warped priorities as the current Congressman from Florida’s 15th District.

“After helping orchestrate the Government Shutdown last fall, just last week, Ross voted to bring our economic stability to the brink again with his “NO” vote that would have forced the US to default on its bills. I can no longer stand on the sideline and watch as our current Congressman drives our country into a ditch in cohesion with his Tea Party allies.” Cohn continued, “As a founding member of the Tea Party Caucus, Ross proudly totes the distinction of “Most Conservative Member of Florida’s US House Delegation.” Floridians deserve a Congressman who puts them first, not someone who brings our country to the edge of disaster and unconscionably votes against the Violence Against Women Act. As a former news reporter, I spent my life fighting and uncovering corruption and cronyism at all levels. I’m no politician, but I felt compelled to run against Ross after he has displayed time and time again, he is not interested in fighting for Floridians in the Halls of Congress.”
