While the nation’s media will focus quite correctly this weekend on the 10-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina hitting New Orleans, anyone remember Hurricane Isaac? (Let’s not even talk about Erika). That was the storm that forced the cancellation of the first day of the 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa three years ago, making today the third […]

Orlando U.S. Rep. and Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Alan Grayson appeared on Al Jazeera America Thursday morning. During the interview he acknowledged that he’s still undecided on the Iran nuclear deal, boasted about his legislative prowess (while disparaging two others running for Senate), and called GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump “boring.” On the Iran nuclear […]

A new Quinnipiac survey says two-thirds of Floridians don’t know enough about Alan Grayson to form an opinion. However, the Florida congressman surely knows his main Democratic opponent in the 2016 Senate race, U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, is even less well known. The Q-poll says 81 percent don’t know enough about Murphy to form an […]

On Tuesday morning, Republican U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis issued a statement on the “deafening” silence from Democrats Patrick Murphy and Alan Grayson on President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran, as all three men continue their campaigns for their parties’ U.S. Senate nominations. “Opposition to the pending Iran deal is a no-brainer,” DeSantis said. “The deal gives […]

Central Florida leaders and voters met for a forum on Iran, just three weeks before Congress votes on authorizing a deal concerning the future of that country’s nuclear program.

Rick Scott has been governor of Florida for over 5 1/2 years now, but other than his two election-day victories, he’s been more down than up when it comes to his personal approval ratings throughout his controversial tenure. That’s why the governor and his supporters have to be giddy this morning, after a Quinnipiac poll […]

Florida House Democratic Leader Mark Pafford announced his endorsement of Susannah Randolph for the 9th Congressional District race on Monday morning, citing the former district director’s work protecting the environment as a key factor “Susannah started her career fighting against offshore drilling and protecting Florida’s wildlife like manatees and panthers,” Pafford said in a prepared […]
