For the fourth and final time, Rep. Chip LaMarca of Lighthouse Point is running for a seat in the state House of Representatives. Broward’s only Republican legislator faces a credible Democratic challenger once again. This time, it’s Jim Brenner, a banker, condo association leader and former aide to U.S. Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts. LaMarca, 56, is an engaging politician who knows his district and Broward well, having been a county commissioner and a Lighthouse Point commissioner, and he has had success in bringing home money to the district.
