Can Pruitt help bring down Mahoney?

Ken Pruitt will serve as honorary chairman of state Rep. Gayle Harrell's campaign to defeat U.S. Rep. Tim Mahoney, D-Port Charlotte.

"We have a great team in place; I am especially excited and honored to have Senate President Ken Pruitt serve as my honorary campaign chairman," Harrell said in a statement announcing her team, which includes Brian Brooks as campaign manager; Randy Nielsen as consultant; pollster Gene Ulm; media consultant Adam Goodman; national fundraiser Trey Richardson and Jody Thomas.

Mahoney is one of the most targeted Democrats in Congress, though last week The Fix's weekly roundup removed Mahoney from its list of top 10 most competitive races.
