The exit of State Rep. Daphne Campbell into a Senate run has created an open seat and the largest clusterbunch of Democrats in any primary in the whole state of Florida. There are seven candidates running to replace Campbell in House District 108. Count ’em. Seven! Sure, there are other races where there might be […]
Perennial candidate Ross Hancock is running against another Democrat for the opportunity to face State Rep. Michael Bileca in November. But it might also look like he’s running against Donald Trump. Hancock has a mailer going out this week to Hispanic Democrats that plays on their alleged distaste for the brash millionaire GOP presidential nominee. […]
It’s going to be a busy week for Republican checkbooks. We’ve got at least four fundraisers planned this week, two for Tuesday and two for Wednesday, for GOP candidates in state House and Senate races. First up is former Congressman David Rivera. We already told you he’s back, running now for the seat abandoned by […]
Former Congressman David Rivera is going back to his roots. Rivera told everyone earlier this month that he was running for state House in the seat abandoned by Rep.

Jose Javier Rodriguez beating back Republican lobbyist Daniel Diaz-Leyva despite the fact that Danny Boy spent probably twice as much dough. Ladra […]
There’s been a lot of attention this election cycle to the mega spending done in the governor’s race and by the candidates in the congressional race for District 26.
