| Description | George Sheldon will be leaving Washington and heading home to Florida as buzz continues to grow that he will challenge Pam Bondi in 2014.
In recent years, Sheldon has been in Washington as a member of the Obama administration but he has spent many years on the Florida political stage. He had been appointed to serve as acting assistant secretary for children and families in the federal department of Health and Human Services. Kathleen Sebelius announced last week he was leaving HHS and was going back to Florida. He will leave the HHS post in the middle of October.
Sheldon’s name surfaced back in August as a possible opponent for Bondi. It’s not the first time he has popped up as a statewide candidate though he has little luck when he has sought higher office. Bondi has had some recent stumbles, namely moving the execution date of Marshall Lee Gore due to a fundraiser, but she can take some solace from Sheldon’s failed bids to run at the state level. |
