Florida’s Taddeo Joins Field of Democrats Seeking to Be Governor

Florida State Senator Annette Taddeo is joining the growing field of Democrats seeking to challenge Republican Ron DeSantis for governor next year.

In a press conference Monday from Tallahassee, Taddeo said she would face Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried and U.S. Representative Charlie Crist, a former Republican governor who switched parties, in seeking the Democratic nomination.

They’re vying to challenge DeSantis, who has become a fundraising superstar in the GOP and is considered a leading potential candidate in the 2024 presidential election.
