By Buddy Nevins, BrowardBeat.com, for SouthFloridaReporter.com, Sept 1, 2015 – Lauren Book, a child abuse prevention advocate and daughter of a veteran Tallahassee lobbyist, will officially launch her campaign for state Senate today.

Ms. Book told Browardbeat.com that she will file her papers in the state Capital.

Her father, lobbyist Ron Book, may be her biggest liability, Ms. Book conceded.

“People will want to talk about the fact my dad is a lobbyist,” she said. “They will question whether I can stand up to my dad. Anybody who has been in a room with us for two minutes know I can stand up to him. I have my own opinions. We disagree regularly.”
