Governor candidates hit trail in lead-up to primary
Microphone in focus against unrecognizable crowd

Public demonstration. Protest.

With less than a month before the primary vote in Florida, the major candidates for governor continue to make their case with party regulars. Where can you see them in action?

Democrat Philip Levine, former Miami Beach mayor, today will open his 14th campaign office up, this one in Palmetto Bay. A 1 p.m. opening for the South Dade Regional Office will also serve as a ramping up of a field operation targeting voters in key markets. The campaign will also hold canvass events through the day.

Republican Adam Putnam, Florida’s agriculture commissioner, will participate today in the Annual Wausau Possum Parade and Festival, which steps off at 10 a.m. at Wausau Town Hall, with a festival and auction afterward at the Possum Palace.

Democrat Jeff Greene, Palm Beach billionaire, continues his bus tour as it swings back south this weekend. The campaign rolls through Martin, Palm Beach and Broward counties today, and continues in Broward on Sunday as well.

This post will be updated with more information as campaigns announce appearances.
