					<description><![CDATA[Ed Hooper, in his bid to return to Tallahassee, picked up a major endorsement Wednesday from Pasco County Tax Collector Mike Fasano. Fasano, a former Republican state lawmaker, has been a longtime political force in West Pasco County. Hooper, who served in the House from 2006 to 2014, is running in Senate District 16, covering parts of Pinellas and Pasco counties. &#8220;I know Ed Hooper to be an honest and thoughtful person who cared about how laws effect the people&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Florida Senate Majority Leader Wilton Simpson is the latest Republican to endorse Ardian Zika in the Pasco County-area House District 37 race for 2018. “Ardian Zika’s story is a modern-day story of the American Dream,” Simpson said Tuesday in a statement from the Zika campaign, referring to the Land O&#8217; Lakes businessman’s background, which includes leaving war-torn Kosovo 20 years ago to come to the United States. “He has since completed an education, spent a decade and a half in&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[House District 37 hopeful Ardian Zika raised more than $100,000 last month, putting him far ahead of the other candidates vying for the Pasco County seat held by termed-out House Speaker Richard Corcoran.

					<description><![CDATA[Before this spring, most of the public had never heard of the term &#8220;pre-eminence&#8221; for Florida&#8217;s University System. But discerning observers in Tampa got a crash course in May after an education conforming bill in the Legislature changed the number of benchmarks required to achieve the lofty status of pre-eminence, costing the University of South Florida some $15 million. In 2013, the Florida Legislature created the Preeminent State Research Universities Program, granting an extra $5 million to $15 million in state funding to&#8230;]]></description>
