After a debate Thursday night that focused on Corrine Brown and her legal issues, Congressional District 5 Democrat Al Lawson had to address issues of his own in the post-debate presser. Specifically, $14,000 in money from political committees since July 1 — many of which, such as U.S. Sugar, Associated Builders and Contractors, and I-PAC Jax … line up almost exclusively behind […]

Congresswoman Corrine Brown, on her “Quick Picks,” left the House District 14 race blank, despite having endorsed Leslie Jean-Bart first, then Kim Daniels more recently. Brown did not endorse in House Districts 13 or 14, saying on the Quick Picks sheet that there’s a “great slate” of candidates and she would be happy with any of them. However, […]

After Wednesday night’s debate of Florida 4th Congressional District Republicans, John Rutherford, Hans Tanzler, and Lake Ray addressed the media. Rutherford wanted to clarify his position on guns. “I never supported a national gun registry. I never opposed Stand Your Ground or the Castle Doctrine,” the former Jacksonville sheriff noted. The Tanzler side has taken to calling him “Liberal […]
