Florida’s two major gubernatorial candidates spent Wednesday campaigning in South Florida, each courting a different community less than four weeks before the Nov. 3 election.
Democrat David Jolly and his running mate, former Florida Rep. Gwen Graham, met with Haitian Americans in North Miami. Many of them want Temporary Protected Status restored. Jolly accused the governor and the president of targeting a community rather than fighting crime. He also raised concerns about Venezuelans being profiled in Doral, citing a leader who he said described the situation as a hunting field as ICE conducted enforcement.
In Surfside, Republican Byron Donalds met with members of the Jewish community on the third anniversary of the Oct. 7 attacks. Donalds said tragedies like that must not be forgotten, noting that many of the victims had lived in the United States before going to Israel to volunteer.
Jolly’s staff told Local 10 that he will remain in Miami, where another event is planned.
Both campaigns are working to win over voters who will head to the polls on Nov. 3.
