Progressive group For Our Future Florida (FOF-FL) is launching a statewide day of action this Saturday, which happens to serve as the one-month mark until the midterm elections. “Saturday’s events will see hundreds of volunteers at over 70 neighborhood canvassing events from Tallahassee to Miami encouraging Floridians to cast their ballots for November,” said Blake Williams, […]

In Florida, responding to a hurricane is often the ultimate measure of leadership. On Thursday, Republicans began hitting Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum on the issue, charging him with failure to lead when Hurricane Hermine struck Tallahassee in 2016. This critique is nothing new: Days after Gillum’s surprise win in the August primary, the conservative National Review lowlighted […]

The three mayors of major Interstate 4 cities came together in Orlando Thursday to endorse Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum‘s bid for Governor because they’re all Democrats, they’re all mayors, and they all want to see more investment in mass transit. As Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn and St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman […]

A Jacksonville fundraiser for the gubernatorial campaign of Democrat Andrew Gillum is slated for Thursday evening, allowing Duval donors to help “bring it home.” For those on a budget, no worries: The cover charge for the event, which starts at 6 p.m. at WJCT, is a mere $75 — hardly George Soros or Tom Steyer money, in other words. […]

It’s no secret Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum is partially campaigning on a tax hike. What’s unknown: how Florida’s electorate receives it. And money is being spent on both sides to determine that outcome. On Wednesday, Gillum released an education-themed television ad in which he says, “Not one person, family, or small business pays more in […]

The Democratic candidate for Governor is beginning to corral law enforcement interests around his campaign. Andrew Gillum announced Wednesday that five former and current county sheriffs had endorsed his gubernatorial bid. The wave of support comes from law enforcement leaders in North and Central Florida counties, including Osceola, Orange, Alachua, Gadsden, and Leon, where Gillum lives and presides […]

The Koch-backed political committee Americans for Prosperity Action, or AFP-Action, announced Wednesday that it was launching a digital and direct-mail campaign attacking Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum over his “record and extreme agenda.” “Andrew Gillum’s agenda is too extreme for Florida,” said AFP-Action senior adviser Chris Hudson. “His plan for the economy? Raise taxes that […]

The issues affecting Florida vary, but they’re all “interwoven” and dependent on the actions of elected officials up and down the ballot, according to the Democrat running for the top spot on Election Day. Candidate for Governor Andrew Gillum rolled out his environmental plan on Tuesday, promising a series of changes to preserve the state’s natural […]

A new television ad out from the Andrew Gillum campaign zeroes in on Florida’s environment, specifically the harmful algal blooms wreaking havoc in the state’s coastal waterways. The culprit: “special interests” and “corporate profit,” according to the Democratic gubernatorial nominee. “The toxic air, red tide and algae blooms around Florida are an economic and environmental disaster,” […]

The Republican Party of Florida continues to hammer away at Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum. However, the Democrats are claiming that their counterparts went too far with one image in their latest spot: a Spanish-language salvo, “Miseria,” spotlighting Gillum’s ties to U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders and “the extreme left.” That image, asserts Democrats, means that Republican Ron DeSantis should […]
