TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida’s primary election for governor, Congress, the Legislature and other offices is Tuesday. Here are five things voters should know:
GOVERNOR’S RACE: Most attention is being focused at the top of the ballot where Democrats and Republicans will chose their nominee for governor. For Democrats, the choice is between former Republican Gov. Charlie Crist and former state Sen. Nan Rich. Crist has mostly ignored Rich even though she has been in the race much longer than he has. Crist has raised more money and drawn more attention and is viewed as the overwhelming favorite. Rich has questioned Crist’s switch to the Democratic Party and his policy changes. Gov. Rick Scott is facing two political unknowns in the Republican primary.
