In the wake of Hurricane Irma last month, state Rep. Kim Daniels distinguished herself by asserting that “prophets” saw the storm coming. “Nothing happens except God reveal it to prophets first,” the Jacksonville Democrat observed as the death-dealing superstorm enveloped the peninsula.

Their divorce is final. But the marital squabbles continue on for House District 14 candidate Kim Daniels and her ex-husband. In 2015, the Jacksonville City Council re-election campaign of Kim Daniels featured the lurid narrative of explosive charges made against her in her divorce case against fellow minister Ardell Daniels.
