Something Rare: Attack Ads In A Race For Judge
Filed under: General News
A judicial race has become surprisingly bitter as a no-bid Sunrise legal contract has come back to haunt Mayor Steve Feren.
Feren, who is running for circuit judge, is the target of television ads reminding voters that he supported hiring his campaign treasurer as the Sunrise City Attorney.
The ads come from Feren opponent Ed Sugar, a Hollywood lawyer.
The Sunrise mayor immediately struck back with HIS side of the story ads saying the charges are distortions.
Both ads are huge buys, now running on WPLG-Channel 10 and cable stations.
The tit-for-tat is unusual in a judicial race, where most candidates blandly recite their resumes.
