Karen Castor Dentel Biography

Karen Castor Dentel is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on September 8, 1968 in Tampa, Florida, United States.

Castor Dentel was born in Tampa to Donald Castor, a former Hillsborough County Judge, and Betty Castor, who served as the President of the University of South Florida, Florida Education Commissioner, State Senator, and the 2004 Democratic nominee for the United States Senate. Her sister, Kathy Castor, is currently a United States Congresswoman from Florida’s 14th congressional district. Her brother, Frank Castor, is currently a Judge in Palm Beach County, Florida. She graduated from Chamberlain High School and then attended Vanderbilt University, where she received a bachelor’s degree in elementary education in 1990. Castor Dentel then attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, receiving her Master of Education in literacy studies in 1993. Finally, she attended the University of Florida, receiving her PhD in curriculum and instruction in 2001. Castor Dentel has taught elementary school for a total of fifteen years throughout Orange County Public Schools and with the School Board of Alachua County in Gainesville, FL.

When the state legislative districts were redrawn in 2012, incumbent State Representative Scott Plakon opted to run for re-election in the newly created 30th District so as to avoid a contentious primary with fellow Republican Chris Dorworth, which required him to relocate his family, as he did not live in the 30th District. Castor Dentel opted to run against Plakon, winning the Democratic primary uncontested, and a contentious election ensued. Castor Dentel and Plakon took vastly different positions on a number of issues, including abortion, where Plakon supported legislation that would restrict access to abortion while Castor Dentel opposed any restrictions, and education, where Plakon supported the controversial parent-trigger legislation while Dentel “opposes private-school vouchers and the charter-school legislation.” Castor Dentel attacked her opponent as “an extreme social conservative” while emphasizing her support for public schools. The Orlando Sentinel endorsed Castor Dentel over Plakon, criticizing him for putting “too much of his energy into ideological crusades,” like his attempts to “put new limits on abortion and decertify labor unions.” They praised Castor Dentel for having a “smart platform for creating jobs and reviving Florida’s economy that includes strengthening public education, promoting innovation through support for higher education and research, and upgrading Florida’s infrastructure, including its ports.” In the last few days of the campaign, a political committee supporting Plakon sent out a mailer used a picture of Jerry Sandusky to attack Castor Dentel, claiming that she “would rather protect bad teachers and the union than young and impressionable students,” which was condemned by both campaigns. In the end, Castor Dentel was able to defeat Plakon by a surprisingly wide margin, winning 53% of the vote to Plakon’s 47%.
