Busansky to run for Hillsborough elections chief

TAMPA -- Former Hillsborough County Commissioner Phyllis Busansky filed today to run for elections supervisor.

Busansky, a 70-year-old Democrat, said she is running because "there is a real issue of competency and integrity. We can do better." She hopes to win the Democratic nomination and challenge incumbent Supervisor of Elections Buddy Johnson.

Busansky, who lost a race for Congress in 2006 to Gus Bilirakis, said she has received a lot of encouragement to run. Lee P. Nelson also has filed to run as a Democrat.
