FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Gubernatorial candidate Nikki Fried said Wednesday that Florida Democrats should nominate a female candidate for every statewide office this year, arguing it would help her party win each of the four contests.
“What power that would show if we had an all-female ticket and all three of the other candidates [were women]. Whew!” she said during a roundtable discussion with Black community activists and business owners in Oakland Park.
So far, the Democrats have a highly competitive race for governor featuring two women and one man, but no top-tier candidates have come forward to run for attorney general, chief financial officer or agriculture commissioner.
