Andrew Gillum announced he's running. For those that don't know. He's the mayo2 of Tallahassee and is currently fighting the State for Home Rule so the city can pass gun control.

Gwen Graham is looking at running. Since her father was Governor and the war chest from when she was in Congress for one term. She has the political connections. She's of course anti gun.

John Morgan is the senior attorney of Morgan & Morgan and he bankrolled the Medical Marijuana Amendment to the State Constitution. He of course is also anti gun.

I fear that this coming election, the Democrats will take the Governor's seat. The FL GOP will hold the legislature but with a Democrat Governor we will be lame ducked for everything. But it isn't like the FL GOP will pass pro 2nd Amendment bills anyways. They're blocking Campus Carry and Open Carry again....

We need to get on this.

Aren't there any good conservatives in the state that might have an interest.

I'd run if I had money or wouldn't have to worry about a job if I lost.

GOP has only itself to blame.  They have morphed into 'dhimmicrat lite',  and they have no candidate worth fielding.   You can bet on a dhimmicrat for the next Governor, and you can expect a severe assault on hunting and on gun rights.

Don't know any Rep. candidates. Who should I get behind? Want to help.

A blue state doesn't appeal to me.

Do you have a source on John Morgan being anti-gun?

I've heard Tampa's mayor is also running but he's a radical loon.

I have heard Lenny Curry(Mayor of Jax) as a possibility. He has been an effective mayor, not sure he has the fire power.

Can you provide the basis for saying Pam Bondi is anti-gun with citations?

I am only able to find Pro-gun information on her.

She said that having a gun is a criminal action since 95% of the State doesn't have CCW Permits.

A]n overwhelming majority of Floridians are not licensed to carry concealed weapons. As of August 31, 2012, the number of concealed weapon or firearm permits issued in Florida is 971,263. Where Florida had an estimated population of 19,057,542 in 2011, the percentage of the population that is licensed to carry a concealed weapon is only five percent (5%). Given the small percentage of the population that is licensed to carry a concealed firearm, the overwhelming majority of firearms, or 95%, are not licensed to be concealed. Thus, an officer’s suspicion that a firearm is not licensed would be reasonable because, in any given case, there would be, statistically speaking, a 95% likelihood of illegality.

How could Morgan be allowed to run? He could literally make himself rich with the money he has thrown into future pot farms. Isn't that somewhat a conflict of interests? Being able to help pass laws for personal gain?

Keep your eye out for Mike Huckabee , who is a resident of the state of Florida, there will be other big names coming out by fall, believe me all is not lost.

By the way Adam Putnum is polling 3 points ahead of the only 2 leaders of the Democratic party that are in double digits John Morgan and Gwen Graham.

Democrats are held to very different ethics standards.

I don't, but it wouldn't surprise me since he's buddies with Charlie Crist.

I got called last week and was asked about different campaign profiles and if I was a traditional Republic or a Trump Republican, by the sounds of it;

Huckabee, Putnam, Bondi, Audra Bonneau, and a few other RINO turds. 

Huckabee fucked up AR pretty bad, Bondi is the country club Republican, no idea who Bonneau is, and I really like Putnam, but he's been shady since he got the commissioner's job.
