Rep.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz is paying attention to her own back yard in deciding how to distribute money from one of her campaign committees.
In the most recent filing for her leadership committee, the DWS (Democrats Win Seats)-PAC reported $15,500 in disbursements for May. Every dollar went to Democrats in Wasserman Schultz' home state: Reps. Allen Boyd of the 2nd District, Alan Grayson of the 8th District, and Suzanne M. Kosmas of the 24th and Democratic candidates Lori Edwards, who is running for the 12th District, and Charlie Justice, who is vying for Republican Rep. C.W. Bill Young's 10th District seat.
Wasserman Schultz is the vice chair of the Democrats' House campaign arm, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
Boyd, a "Blue Dog" fiscal conservative, faces a primary challenge from the left from state Sen. Al Lawson. Boyd's district also leans Republican: voters there gave Republican John McCain a majority of support in last fall's presidential election.
Justice, a state senator, is running in the 10th against Young, the House's longest-serving Republican. Young, 78, continues to be the a subject of retirement rumors but the incumbent has stated he will seek a 21st term next year. Democrats argue his district, which gave a majority of its vote to Obama in November, is ripe for a takeover.
Edwards, the Polk County Supervisor of Elections, is running for the seat currently held by Republican Rep. Adam H. Putnam, who is running for state Agriculture commissioner.
Grayson and Kosmas, both freshmen, are on GOP target lists for the coming cycle.
