Tampa Bay Times:“Pat Kemp is the best choice. Kemp is a lawyer who offers a depth of experience and policy knowledge. Kemp has a better feel for the diverse nature of the county. She has advocated for better transit and smarter planning for years, and she recognizes that the county needs jobs of all kinds. Kemp also has long been a voice for open government.” (October, 2014)Tampa Tribune:“Pat Kemp, an attorney and longtime community activist, understands how ill-planned development destroys neighborhoods and generates high costs for taxpayers.
