Rep. Adam Hattersley is hosting his official campaign kickoff party Tuesday as he seeks the Democratic nomination to take on Congressman Ross Spano in 2020.

Hattersley’s kickoff will be at Strandhill Public, an artisan Irish Pub in Brandon, on Tuesday at 6 p.m..

The pub is located at 10288 Causeway Blvd.

Hattersley is running to replace Spano in Congressional District 15, which includes parts of east Hillsborough including Brandon and Riverview as well as parts of Polk and Lake counties.

Hattersley entered the race less than two years after being elected to the Florida House of Representatives. He decided to make the swap to the Congressional race after evidence continued to build that Spano had illegally accepted loans to fund his own 2018 Congressional bid.

Hattersley and his campaign team chose Strandhill Public because it is a new local business within the district.

His host committee includes dozens of current and former elected officials and Democratic Party insiders.

“It’s humbling to receive this outpouring of support from the local community and the congressional district,” Hattersley said. “I’m honored to have the backing of such a robust, diverse group of people who are ready to launch a campaign to bring the Florida 15th the kind of representation it deserves.”

Rep. Fentrice Driskell and former Rep. Sean Shaw will deliver remarks at the event.

Hattersley faces former news anchor Alan Cohn in the Democratic primary.
