“I support Kathy Castor’s bid for the US Congress because she has consistently taken on powerful interests that threaten our community.  She has publicly stated that as a mom, local government official and as our Congresswoman she will always stand up for all of her neighbors!  You should support Kathy because she has proven locally that she will fight discrimination anywhere, even in Washington.” 

Kathy Fights for Growth Management

"Kathy and I have been working together for good planning and growth management.  Kathy has fought to protect all of our neighborhoods and continues to work to improve the quality of life for all of our neighbors.  On the County Commission Kathy has stood up with me against interests that threaten our community and I know she will continue to do so in Washington".

-Vivian Kitchen, Tampa/Hillsborough County Citizen and Advocate for Good Growth and Management

Kathy Fights for Health Care

"Kathy Castor has successfully stood up for Hillsborough County's seniors and helped them tend to their daily needs.  When seniors were cut off by the Hillsborough Healthcare Plan, Kathy acted to make sure they could continue to receive their prescription drugs while transitioning through the complicated and confusing Medicare part D signup process.  Having worked with her personally, locally, I know that she will continue to take on the interests that threaten seniors in Washington."

-Dr. Harold Crow

"Kathy truly is a champion of the award winning Hillsborough County Healthcare Plan.  She led the fight to successfully take on the special interests that threatened the plan.  Kathy is a strong voice for expanding healthcare for working class and poor families, seniors and children in our community."

-John Weiss, Occupational Therapist

Kathy Fights for our Community

"Kathy fought for my community against the Tampa Electric Company.  TECO came in and put huge power poles - 3 feet wide by 125 feet tall- right in the middle our residential neighborhood!  I support Kathy because she stood up to this powerful interest that threatened our neighborhood and I know that she will continue to do so in Washington. Because of Kathy TECO can never do this again to anyone else in Hillsborough County."

-Janet Guy, Egypt Lake Resident

"Kathy cares about all of our neighborhoods.  She has been working with her Castor Clean up Crew and beside her neighbors, like the CDC in East Tampa to clean up our community.  Kathy stood up with us locally and will continue to stand up for us to clean up Washington.”   

-Tyrus Gordon

Kathy works for Ethics Reform

“I support Kathy Castor because she imposed tough limits on lobbyists and gifts to Commissioners in Hillsborough County.  She has proved that she is tough on corruption locally and I know she will work hard to change the culture of corruption in Washington.  Now more than ever we need a member of Congress that will stand up to the special interests and fight for our community.”

-Jason Ciofalo, Local Attorney

Kathy Fights for the Environment

"Commissioner Castor was our hero, relentlessly fighting for us on all 3 rezonings. She was absolutely awesome, thinking quickly, articulately explaining the issues to the other commissioners (some of whom were appallingly clueless!) The battle went on for hours, and she hung in there throughout, constantly steering the discussion back to our side whenever it veered off to the developer's side."

-Mariella Smith, Sierra Club
