Greer Calls on Mahoney to Resign, Citing Abuse of Power and Corruption

Stuart, Florida--Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer released the following statement today regarding Congressman Tim Mahoney (CD-16). Chairman Greer, who held a press conference outside the Congressman's Stuart office this morning, called Mahoney to request that he come out and address the questions and concerns of his constituents. After waiting a period of time and still receiving no response from Mahoney, Chairman Greer released this statement:

"The last chapter of Tim Mahoney's political career has been written, and it is titled 'Violation of the public trust.' Now, it is time to close the book on Congressman Mahoney and restore the public's trust.

"Today, I call upon Tim Mahoney to resign his office as a U.S. Congressman and allow the citizens of CD 16 the opportunity to have their faith and trust restored in this public office."
