Rep. Kim Daniels was among the myriad Jacksonville politicians at a Wednesday presser promoting an Irma relief fund. However, she was the only one who had claimed that “prophets” knew that Irma would hit Florida. “Nothing happens except God reveal it to prophets first,” Daniels observed as the death-dealing superstorm enveloped the peninsula.

State Rep. Kim Daniels, a Jacksonville Democrat, may have had the most idiosyncratic reaction of any office holder to Hurricane Irma.

2016 financial disclosure statements are rolling in, and among them is that of Jacksonville Democratic Rep. Kim Daniels. Daniels, a charismatic preacher first elected to the Florida House last year, is thriving in the professional sphere — a prosperity spawned by interests in two ministries.

A Tuesday morning Jacksonville City Council committee saw an update on the city’s ShotSpotter program from Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office Homeland Security Chief Robert Connor. This much-ballyhooed anti-crime tool does what its name suggests: it identifies, via sound, where a bullet’s origin might be. For law enforcement, this provides an important tool; for those married to […]

State Rep. Kim Daniels, an iconoclastic Jacksonville Democrat representing House District 14 in Northwest Jacksonville, filed for re-election last week. Daniels’ filing means that every member of the Duval Delegation has filed for some 2018 office, as Rep. Jay Fant filed to replace termed-out Pam Bondi as Attorney General last week also. Daniels’ major legislative […]
