Thomas J. “Tom” Leek, an attorney in Volusia County, announced recently that he is a candidate for the open District 25 seat in the Florida House of Representatives. Leek, 47, of Ormond Beach, is a lifelong Republican and seeks the seat currently held by Rep. Fred Costello. The district includes parts of Ormond Beach.
“As a local businessman, attorney, former House staff member and most importantly, as a father and husband, I enter this race to make certain our community gets the best possible, tried-and-true conservative representation in the Florida House of Representatives,” he said in a press release.
Leek is the managing partner and a commercial civil litigator at the Cobb-Cole Law Firm in Daytona Beach. He is a graduate of Seabreeze High School, The University of Central Florida and Stetson University College of Law. He was chairman of the Daytona Beach Regional Chamber of Commerce in 2011 and is a former Legislative Aide (1992-94).
An RV crashed Feb. 15 in the 1600 block of North U.S. 1. Upon arrival, Ormond Beach police found the recreational vehicle on fire. People nearby were able to rescue a male from the vehicle who suffered serious burns and was transported to Halifax Health, according to a police spokesman.
Another occupant could not be rescued because of the fire and died, according to police.
The RV had reportedly exited Interstate I-95 and continued straight toward the Dairy Queen parking lot where it struck a tree and exploded into flames.
Police did not release identities by press time and the crash is under investigation.
