ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla.
The current representative of District 1, Slough was first elected in 2002 and is now running to retain her seatSlough says her conservative viewpoints began developing at age 11, when she was given a school assignment to watch the televised presidential debate between then-Sen. John F. Kennedy and then-Vice President Richard Nixon in 1960.
“Unfortunately, longevity in these positions can cause complacency, and we’ve seen that more than ever over the last few years,” Hand’s campaign wrote in a July 16 Facebook post. Hand did not cite any specific example of Slough’s complacency.When News4JAX asked Hand where she and Slough differ, her 20 years of service was not among the issues that Hand raised. Instead, Slough’s longevity was mentioned in the context of an accolade.
