U.S. Rep. Gwen Graham held another district “work day” today in Chipley, the seat of tiny — and heavily Republican — Washington County in the northwest part of her sprawling 2nd Congressional District. The move is at once a continuation of her preeminent father Bob Graham‘s work days, in which the former Florida governor and senator worked hundreds of shifts across the state alongside mostly poor and middle-class workers, as well as a way of promoting the freshman’s new legislative effort in…

By 8 p.m. we should have a winner in the only City Council race that remains undecided — the District 6 battle between Guido Maniscalco and Jackie Toledo.
