Sunburn – The morning read of what’s hot in Florida politics. By Peter Schorsch, Phil Ammann, Jenna Buzzacco-Foerster, Mitch Perry and Jim Rosica. Happy 37th birthday to Sarah Bascom. Too often, Sarah gets the blame for some of my antics. But the reality is we are actually on opposite political sides more often than not. Which means we must have a genuine friendship, otherwise why would she put up with all that? Which makes me a very lucky person. Because…

Just as “America First” propelled Trump to the White House, Adam Putnam hopes a similar theme will help drive him to the Governor’s Mansion. That could explain why the new header of Putnam’s Twitter profile boasts a bright red background, emblazoned with the words “#FloridaFirst.” Hey, it worked for Trump; why not…

It’s Rick Baker’s birthday; What presents are in store for him during tonight’s first mayoral debate?

in Peter by

It’s Rick Baker‘s 61st birthday today. This begs the question: What do you get the former mayor who has everything? It’s certainly not a campaign contribution or favorable poll numbers. Baker has enough of those already. How about a debate then? The Mt. Zion Progressive Missionary Baptist Church tonight is hosting the first debate in the mayoral race.

Javier Manjarres, known in political circles as the publisher of The Shark Tank blog, announced Sunday that he is considering a run for Congress. Manjarres, who was named top national conservative blogger by the Conservative Political Action Committee in 2011, said he would continue to operate The Shark Tank while exploring a candidacy. Whether Manjarres actually pulls the trigger on running — and Javier does have a propensity for pulling the trigger — he’s already won. Why? Because we’re talking about Javier. The…
