Orlando, Fla., Apr 22, 2010 / 06:20 am
A pro-life, pro-family Catholic widow named Karen Diebel is seeking the Republican nomination for a Congressional seat in Orlando, Florida, saying it is “critically important” to have a voice for such issues represent the district.
“There is such danger right now, with both the incumbent and the administration. All the decision-making on economic and social issues is in opposition to the values that reinforce and support strong families,” she has said.
According to the Catholic Advocate, Diebel is 43 years old and has three sons ages 10, 12 and 13.
Her husband, an obstetrician, was killed while helping a stranger on the side of a highway in June 2002.
