Change of plan

Christopher A. Debock has changed his mind about challenging 13th Circuit Public Defender Julianne Holt at the polls. Earlier this year, the former 13th Circuit assistant public defender told the St. Petersburg Times he intended to ask voters for her job. Instead, Debock will challenge Hillsborough County Judge Artemus Elton McNeil at the Aug. 31 primary election. Debock becomes the third person to file against an incumbent Hillsborough County judge. Tampa attorney Kim Hernandez Vance of Cohn & Cohn PA has filed to run against Judge Charlotte Anderson. Tampa creditors' rights attorney Victor Veschio has filed to run against Judge Paul Huey.
