Carlos Beruff is out with a new campaign advertisement, calling on Floridians to reject what he calls a hyphenated county. The release of the 30-second spot, called “Simply American,” comes as Marco Rubio prepares to announce whether he will run for re-election. In his new ad, an announcer is heard saying: “Ever get tired of […]

Todd Wilcox rolled out his national security and foreign policy plan on Wednesday, saying the country needs to “examine the context” of the current foreign policy and national security strategy. In his proposal, Wilcox said the nation should “first and foremost defend the homeland” from threats of Islamic terrorism. The country, he said, also needs […]

Is Marco Rubio ready to do the (almost) unthinkable, and announce he will be running again for the U.S. Senate seat he renounced a year ago? We’ll find out soon enough — the deadline to make such a decision is just nine days away. The man who runs this website, Peter Schorsch, wrote last night a deal is […]

It’s the seemingly intractable problem of Florida politics these days, one that has eluded even the most savvy operators. If Marco Rubio does jump back into the race for his U.S. Senate seat, how do you rearrange the chess pieces — at least the ones that matter — so everyone comes out a winner? After weeks […]

Todd Wilcox released his first campaign advertisement Tuesday. The 30-second web spot — called “Eliminating ISIS” — coincides with a statewide tour focused on national security. “Terrorists have brought this fight to American soil and it’s time we get serious about eliminating ISIS once and for all,” he said in a statement. “ISIS can be defeated, […]

For Todd Wilcox, the Orlando shooting hit close to home. He lives 15 miles south of the nightclub where 49 people were killed, and 53 more were injured early Sunday morning. His youngest daughter, now seven years old, was born at the hospital across the street. His oldest daughter, a 23-year-old recent graduate, lives near […]

Carlos Lopez-Cantera urged the nation to work together to stand up to “radical terrorism.” In an email to supporters Monday, the lieutenant governor called the shooting at an Orlando nightclub an act of terrorism, and said it was a sober reminder that “terrorists will not think twice about coming after the United States.” “We must […]

Todd Wilcox will focus on national security during a three-day campaign swing through the state later this week. Wilcox, one of five Republicans running for U.S. Senate, announced Monday he plans to discuss national security issues on his three-day “Preserving Peace through Strength” campaign swing. The statewide tour will come just days after 49 people were […]

At a “town hall” held in a claustrophobia-inducing small meeting room in an office park in Jacksonville’s Southside, GOP U.S. Senate candidate Carlos Beruff made news by avoiding making news. Unlike his visit to the St. Johns County REC last month, he avoided calling the president an “animal.” Indeed, he avoided much quotability at all, as […]

Carlos Beruff believes his extensive travel overseas, talking to people and living Cuban history “every day” gives him sufficient experience in foreign affairs for the U.S. Senate. The Manatee County homebuilder and first-time candidate also blasted his Republican opponents for lacking experience in foreign affairs, despite two military veterans also in the race to replace […]
