House candidate Terry Power lives in $500K home but applied for food stamps

The Republican who’s challenging state Rep. Jamie Grant for his House District 64 seat lives in a $500,000 home but applied for food stamps, according to recent tweets.


If you read the whole background, it's like a soap opera:

We previously reported that Power owes nearly $88,000 in alimony.
.

Looks like Power made a $74,000 campaign contribution to himself so that he could not pay alimony and applied for food stamps because he was out of money?!?

I live in Pinellas...these are some of the nut cases that repubs here vote for...my neighbors!
