Wedding Bells, Not Retirement for Brown-Waite

[ccharles000]

After stirring up retirement speculation via a cryptic press release Thursday evening, Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite's (R-Fla.) "major announcement" Friday night was that she is running for re-election, and that she set a date for her wedding.

The marriage will be Brown-Waite's second. The Congresswoman lost her first husband, Harvey, in 2008 after a six month battle with pancreatic cancer. The two had been married 30 years and he passed away less than three months shy of Brown-Waite winning her fourth term.

Last year the Congresswoman became engaged to businessman Anthony Selvaggio, who is part of a classic car organization that Harvey Waite also belonged to. Brown-Waite moved in with Selvaggio last summer, according to reports in Florida papers.

As she looks past her nuptials to her fifth term, Brown-Waite is facing a primary challenge from little known engineer and "Tea Party" activist Jason Sager (R). A trio of Democrats have also filed for the race and out of that group attorney Tom Doolan and mortgage negotiator Jim Piccolo are likely to compete for the nomination.
