Dorothy Hukill

PORT ORANGE – State Rep. Dorothy Hukill announced today that she has filed paperwork to be a candidate for the U.S. Congress for Florida’s 24^th District. Hukill, a small business owner, state legislator and former mayor, has earned a reputation as an independent-minded, common sense problem-solver with a solid fiscally conservative record.

“Washington is out of touch with the needs of our area,” Hukill said. “The choices being made in Washington will raise taxes on Florida’s families and burden our children and grandchildren with unprecedented new levels of debt. I think we can do better. That’s why I’m running to bring real fiscal responsibility and common sense to Washington.”

In two terms in the Florida House, Dorothy Hukill has earned respect as a leader for health care reform, tax relief, job creation, and economic development. Hukill has won praise from all sides as an independent thinker, willing to reach across the aisle to get things done. As mayor of Port Orange, Hukill was noted for her insistence on holding the line on government spending.

Dorothy Hukill has lived in District 24 since 1988 and is an attorney in private practice, specializing in elder law and probate. She served on the Ponce Inlet Town Council from 1992-1994 before moving to Port Orange, where she currently resides. She served on the Port Orange City Council from 1998-2000, when she was elected Mayor and served until 2004. Since 2004 she has served in the state legislature, where her district overlaps with over 20% of Florida’s 24^th Congressional District.

Hukill has launched a website http://www.dorothyhukill.com Hukill is just one of several GOP candidates eying the seat, in which Kosmas defeated Tom Feeney last year. Florida State Rep. Sandy Adams, R-Orlando, told the Orlando Sentinel last week that there is a “high probability” she will enter the race.
