Dear Editor:
Charles Gambaro’s decision to run for Congress is nothing short of audacious. This is a man who was never elected by the people of Palm Coast. He was appointed through a questionable process that bypassed the will of the voters.
His very presence on the City Council has been clouded by controversy, legal challenges and an ever-growing public distrust. Now, without ever having stood before voters in a single election, he’s aiming for a $174,000-a-year seat in the U.S. Congress?
Gambaro’s leap from an unelected City Council appointment to a federal campaign reeks of political opportunism.
The voters of Florida’s 6th District deserve better.

Editor's Note: Circuit Judge Chris France said of Gambaro's appointment: “Although the result is flawed, the charter was complied with to fill the vacancy.”
