Last week, I wrote about some of the radical and far-right Republican candidates in Arizona and Florida who are already on the attack and taking special interest money.

Yesterday, we watched and waited as Republicans in Arizona and Florida cast their votes in competitive primary races. The outcome? A slew of ultra-conservative candidates ready to take on our pro-choice Democratic women in November. These Republican nominees are extremists fighting for policies that are harmful towards American women and families.

Much is asked of our servicemen and women, but asking the family of one sergeant to jump through bureaucratic hoops to help the family's quest for a reunion was going too far. That was, until the mother contacted her representative – EL Cong. Suzanne Kosmas (FL-24). Suzanne and her staff took up the family’s case, meeting last week with Lacey Mercer, whose husband -- Justice -- is on his fifth tour in the Middle East.
