Florida congressional candidate James Judge is raffling off AR-15-style rifles tied to fundraising

TAMPA, Fla. — James Judge has had a busy few weeks. First, the Tampa Republican was tossed off the ballot for paperwork issues when he filed to run in the 14th Congressional District Republican primary, before he was reinstated by a judge.

Judge then called for another Republican, Jerry Torres of Lakeland, to be tossed off the ballot for filing issues.

Keeping himself in the news this week, Judge, the owner of a public relations firm, announced Wednesday that he’s raffling off four AR-15-style semi-automatic rifles. The guns are similar to the one law enforcement says was used two days ago in the latest mass shooting outside of Chicago July 4th that killed seven people.
