Parrotheads rejoice!
Musician Jimmy Buffett is holding a free concert in Hollywood to support Gwen Graham‘s bid for the Democratic nomination in the Florida gubernatorial race.
The concert will be Thursday, Aug. 23, at Hollywood ArtsPark Amphitheater. Showtime is 7:30 p.m.; doors open at 6 p.m.
This follows last week’s news that Buffett, who also spent much of his time on environmental charity work, was endorsing Graham’s campaign to become Florida’s next Governor. At the time, Thursday’s “Get Out the Vote” rally was mentioned, though details were not available yet.
Graham is hoping efforts by Buffett and others will put her over the top in the Aug. 28 Democratic primary. She’s competing against Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, Palm Beach billionaire Jeff Greene, Winter Park entrepreneur Chris King, and former Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine for the nomination.
A new poll shows Graham slightly ahead of Levine, with Gillum rising to third place.
