With a little over three weeks to go until the primary, Republican congressional candidate Craig Miller, the former CEO of Ruth's Chris, is sending out a mailer attacking his two main rivals for the nomination. Miller took aim at Rep. Sandy Adams, R-Oviedo, and Karen Diebel, his two main rivals in the Republican battle to take on U.S. Rep. Suzanne Kosmas, calling their conservatism into question.

"Both of these politicians claim to be fiscal conservatives," said Jon Miller from Craig Miller‘s campaign team (no relation). "Unfortunately Sandy Adams raised taxes $1.7 billion, even voting to tax your estate proceedings after death. Karen Diebel raised rates on local businesses twice, garbage service, storm water, sewer water, taxicab fares, utility meters, recreation, emergency fuel and online payments. Someone forgot to tell them we are in a recession. With their tax-hiking record, can we really trust them to work for us and not Nancy Pelosi?"

Miller's team sent out a release about the mailing hours after fellow candidate Deon Long urged Miller and Adams to tone down personal attacks against Diebel.
