On his Facebook page Monday afternoon, Charlie Crist said he will not be a candidate for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in Florida in 2016. “As members of the Florida Democratic Party, we stand for something — fairness, growing the […]

The Guido Maniscalco campaign team has bristled at Jackie Toledo and Anthony Pedicini, her campaign consultant, after a mailer blasting Maniscalco hit homeowners in the Tampa District 6 area Thursday. It came days before early voting begins in their runoff election set for March 24. Toledo, though, isn’t backing down. The mailer bashes Maniscalco, claiming his […]

Pedestrian in the respect that it only put forth four names: Marco Rubio and Jeff Atwater for the Republicans; Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Patrick Murphy for the Democrats. With more than a year and a half until the […]
