Florida Representative Kathy Fox's Reelection Campaign Takes Center Stage Amid Beach Renourishment Dispute In the lead-up to her November reelection bid, Representative Kathy Fox is facing scrutiny over her stance on Pinellas County beach renourishment. A decades-old standoff between Pinellas beach communities and the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers has left eroding public beaches in disrepair, with some disappearing altogether.
The Corps demands perpetual easements allowing public access to nearby private land before adding sand. Many property owners refuse... and Fox has announced her intention to urge the Corps to grant exceptions for local landowners. Her position on the issue is set to be a flashpoint in her campaign.
But recently, a local matter has drawn attention in Luna's fight for reelection in November: Pinellas County beach renourishment. It's the rare issue where the representative of Florida's 13th Congressional District — home to some of the state's signature beaches — could have disproportionate sway.
