Ben Diamond to host “thank you” for suspended congressional campaign

Ben Diamond is scheduled to host a “thank you” event for supporters of his now-suspended congressional campaign in St. Petersburg May 31.

The Democratic State Representative announced he would no longer actively seek to represent Florida’s 13th Congressional District last week after new Congressional maps drew him out of CD 13.

Diamond said the event, held at The Hangar restaurant at Albert Whitted airport from 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m., will “celebrate our successes and thank all of our supporters, volunteers, campaign staff and friends.”

Diamond said he will resume his campaign if efforts to challenge the new congressional maps are successful.
