Debbie Wasserman Schultz Faces Primary Challenge

Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Shultz also is a member of Congress representing a district in Florida, and she is facing her first primary challenge since taking office in 2005.

Law professor Timothy Canova tells The Hill that Wasserman Schultz has sold out to corporate interests, pointing to her positions on trade, criminal justice, consumer protection and drug policy reform.

Conova, a former aide to Massachusetts Sen. Paul Tsongas tells The Hill he will fight President Barack Obama's trade agenda, reform criminal justice and go after big banks and big money's influence in politics.

"People here on the ground — I hear left and right, you name it — are just dissatisfied that she's not responsive, she takes people for granted, and it's becoming evident in the way she votes on an awful lot of issues," Canova said. "She takes a lot of corporate money, and she votes for corporate interests contrary to the interest of her own constituents."
