Former State Sen. Ken Pruitt, a Republican who served as Senate President when Marco Rubio led the House, introduced Charlie Crist at the governor’s first fundraiser tonight as a non-partisan candidate for the U.S. Senate.
“He’s not going it alone,” said Pruitt, echoing a headline from a recent St. Petersburg Times front page that featured a picture of Crist by himself in his office, “He’s got the people with him.”
Among those attending the event at the Grand Beach Hotel in Miami Beach – Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Alvarez, West Palm Beach trial lawyer Chis Searcy and Everglades Foundation CEO Kirk Fordham.
