| Description | As Republicans question Congressman Tim Mahoney’s use of a horse barn for his voting address, Democrats have returned the latest non-issue volley by pointing out that his challenger was once registered to vote at a dog track.
Tom Rooney, who is currently registered to vote at his south Martin County home, used 1111 N. Congress Avenue in West Palm Beach, for his voter registration address from 1998 through 2003.
The address is the location of the Palm Beach Kennel Club, owned by the Investment Corp. of Palm Beach, which is owned by the Rooney family.
While registered at the dog track, Rooney was studying law, serving in the Army in Texas and later teaching at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Rooney had previously been registered to vote at his parents' home in Palm Beach Gardens, but changed the address when his parents moved into a rental condo as they started to build a new home in Jupiter.

On Sept. 18 it was reported that Mahoney uses his Palm Beach Gardens home, which was redistricted out of District 16 in 2002, for his homesteaded property, while an apartment in a barn at a horse farm in western Palm Beach Gardens is used by the congressman for his voting address. |
