Where is Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jeff Greene these last few days before Tuesday’s primary election? Not on TV. Not out in public. The Palm Beach businessman who barreled into the race in early June and became omnipresent on TV through much of the summer is stepping out of the spotlight for the final push, his campaign […]

Former Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine, polling at or near the top of the field of Florida Democrats running for Governor in most recent surveys, released a closing argument TV spot Thursday that distilled the major themes of his campaign. The ad represents a real contrast to the pugnacity of recent weeks in the campaign, re-establishing […]

Democrat Chris King started his run for Governor in his own back yard — literally — declaring he would run a race based on ideas and detailed plans for a progressive governorship. On Wednesday, he came home where it started, back to the Hillcrest Hampton House Senior Center he owns in Orlando, still pushing those ideas. […]

Philip Levine believes his primary bid for Governor will come down to the wire on Tuesday, and the winner will undoubtedly face Republican candidate Ron DeSantis. Levine spoke briefly with reporters Wednesday in the capital city, where he’ll reside if he’s victorious in the Aug. 28 primary and the following general election. Tallahassee is home […]

Another day, another poll of the Democratic primary for Florida governor. Only this one shows Philip Levine on top instead of Gwen Graham, with Andrew Gillum surging late but perhaps from too far back to catch up in a week, and the others fading. A new tracking poll from SEA Polling and Strategic Design, taken […]

Andrew Gillum‘s fortunes clearly are rising, as shown by a couple of recent polls showing him surging into a solid third-place standing. Now his campaign is touting the kicker: a new internal poll that has him strongly leading the Democratic field heading into next week’s gubernatorial primaries. The poll from Change Research of San Francisco, released […]

Gwen Graham’s lead is building, Jeff Greene’s surge has turned into a slump, and Philip Levine is stuck in second gear, according to a new poll released Wednesday out of Florida Atlantic University. The FAU Business and Economics Polling Initiative contacted 280 Democratic voters and found that Graham, a former congresswoman, is pulling 29 percent […]

Jeff Greene announced late Monday that he’s putting $5 million into a committee to help Florida Democrats in other races. The Palm Beach billionaire is following through with an earlier campaign promise. He announced publicly in a July gubernatorial debate that he’d help elect Democrats down the ballot. The money will flow through the Florida […]

South Florida’s the place to be for candidates running for statewide office today. As politicians rally voters to early voting locations, where can you meet with candidates for Governor or Senate? And where will candidates’ paths converge? Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jeff Greene will campaign heavily today in Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties. After attending […]

As her opponent travel the state in campaign buses, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gwen Graham spent most of her weekend in a yellow dog. Graham campaigned in South Florida Saturday via a school bus with an “Educators for Graham” banner on the side as she visited early voting locations in advance of the Aug. 28 Democratic […]
