Democrat Charlie Justice will end a decade-long state legislative career to challenge C.W. Bill Young for Congress. "The decisions made in Washington D.C. more and more impact our daily lives and that's what drew me to public service in the first place," said the 39-year-old state senator from St. Petersburg. "We need people in Washington that understand their decisions have real impact on the families and small businesses here." [...]

Either way, Justice says he's in: "If he decides to retire after 40 years in Washington, we'll thank him for his service and if he decides to run again, we'll have a healthy debate,'' said Justice, an academic adviser at the University of South Florida.
