In reply to You probably know me too.

Howdy, just wanted to drop in and say that I am the organizer who added the politician (she was not a candidate at the time, though she is now running for re-election) in for WordCamp Orlando.

I cannot speak for the other organizer, but I did not and still do not have an issue with the decision as originally made, and as later adjusted. I did want to correct the above point, as well as point out that the speaker was listed on the site for close to two months before an issue was raised within a week of the event by parties who would otherwise have noticed.
