Drake has another fundraiser scheduled at 4:30 p.m. Oct. 8 at the Governors Club, Tallahassee. To confirm an event, email [email protected].

Another fundraiser is scheduled for GOP state Rep. Janet Adkins of Fernandina Beach, though not for re-election – she’s term-limited. Instead, Adkins will be at the Governors Club at 5 p.m. Oct. 6 to raise money for her run for Nassau County Superintendent of Schools. House Speaker Steve Crisafulli will be hosting the event.

POLITICO Florida reported that Adkins told a closed Republican Party of Florida meeting last month that U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown‘s new congressional district boundaries should be redrawn with as many prisons as possible to help “get rid of” her. Prisoners can’t vote.
