Posey Wins Republican Primary for Weldon Congressional Seat (Sources: ERAU, Space Politics)

State Senator Bill Posey easily won the Republican primary race for Congressman Dave Weldon’s seat (Weldon is retiring), with over 78% of the vote. Posey is a longtime supporter of space issues in Tallahassee and has served for years on the board of Space Florida and its successor organizations. Posey will face Democrat Steve Blythe, whose website, according to SpacePolitics.com, includes a detailed space policy statement. “It’s something of a rambling statement, that could use some copy editing as well (it’s “Mars”, Dr. Blythe, not “mars”; and Chandra is an x-ray telescope, not a radio telescope.)” (8/27)
