John Moffitt, treasurer of the Republican Party of Seminole County, announced this week that he will take on Dorworth, who is in line to become House Speaker in 2014, in the Aug. 14 primary. District 29 includes Lake Mary, Longwood, Casselberry and Altamonte Springs.

Moffitt echoed that Wednesday, calling Dorworth's financial situation an "embarrassment."
"He's a future party leader, yet he's living in a house where he hasn't made a mortgage payment, he's involved in a business that stands to make millions on the Wekiva Parkway, and he's in a testy divorce," Moffitt said. "There are just so many questions that you have to wonder if my opponent is truly the man who should be in charge of the state of Florida's budget."
Dorworth's divorce proceedings and financial issues he's not made mortgage payments on his $1.2 million Lake Mary home for two years are public record. He also has worked as a consultant for attorney Jim Palmer, a Seminole County developer who owns land near the proposed Wekiva Parkway, which Dorworth supported in Tallahassee.
