Murzin Now Aide To Former Opponent Evers

January 24, 2013

If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.

Sen. Greg Evers (R-Baker) has a familiar face in his office. Former Rep. Dave Murzin, who once wanted the seat Evers holds, is now one of Evers’ two legislative assistants in his Pensacola office.

“I look forward to serving the people of Northwest Florida through the office of Senator Greg Evers,” Murzin said Wednesday. “I am humbled by the opportunity given to me by Senator Evers.”

Murzin was term limited in 2010 and was running against Evers, then also in the House, in the GOP primary for the seat being vacated by former Sen. Durrell Peaden. Murzin dropped out of that race in May 2010,  to run for an Escambia County commission seat. When he lost the  multiple candidate commission election in August of that year, it was the first time he’d been out of politics since college.

    Murzin will be a knowledgeable asset to Sen. Evers’ office. What a wonderful example of two men setting aside politics. True statesmen these two, leading by example.

    No kidding. I was commenting on the fact that Florida has term limits for our State Representatives.

    Um, mg, Senator Evers is in the Florida Senate, not the US Congress.

    They should put term limits on the US Congress. That would solve a lot of problems I think by making sure people there are changed out every so often.

    Politics make strange bedfellows.
