Rep. Sandy Adams (R-Fla.) was instrumental in passing legislation guaranteeing that military votes would be counted. (Adams U.S. House website; screen snip)Rep. Sandy Adams (Fla.-24) took on her first national fight in 2010 when she ran against Democrat incumbent Suzanne Kosmas. Adams won the U.S. House seat with a whopping margin of 60-42 percent. Now Adams is locked in another battle, one she may not have anticipated.
Adams is running against another incumbent, Rep. John Mica (R-7) who has served in Congress since 1993, the same year the film Jurassic Park was released.
How did two successful Republicans from two different districts end up challenging each other in a primary?
