Oldest congressman Pepper seeks 11th term in Miami district
Associated Press writer John Thor Dahlburg outlines Claude Pepper at age 82 running again for Congress in Florida. The veteran Democrat, nicknamed the sexiest man in America by party aides, campaigns across 29 states, denouncing Reagan while portraying government as a tool for those who deserve better. Pepper notes his district has transformed from Jewish middle-class power to a diverse mix including whites, Hispanics, blacks, and Puerto Ricans, with a Republican challenger emerging in the race.
