Back in the 1990s, they used to say that “Earth Day is Every Day.” In reality, it’s April 22. And ahead of that day of observance, the Alvin Brown campaign has sent an email spotlighting what it calls “Lenny Curry’s political ties to the billionaire Koch brothers who dump tens of millions of gallons of polluted wastewater […]

UPDATE: 12:48 p.m. Governor Mitt Romney has announced his endorsement of Lenny Curry, as an email from the campaign attests, with slightly different language than that in the email we obtained.. “I have traveled our country working to advance conservative principles, and here in Florida I’ve had a partner in Lenny Curry. Lenny is committed […]

On Friday morning, the Lenny Curry campaign sent an email reiterating previously established themes. One such theme: a reminder of the Republican’s contention that he is a “true conservative.” Another such theme: a reiteration of a theme, established months ago, of Curry’s “servant leadership.” The email was written by Judi Spann, one of the most active volunteers on […]

The good news for Alvin Brown and Ken Jefferson: Turnout at the Beaches Watch forum on Thursday night was light. It was significantly down from 2011, said people who were at both events with perhaps 100 in an auditorium that could hold many times that number. The bad news? Neither Democrat spoke to Beaches issues with a great deal […]
