From political reporter Michael Fechter: Florida Democratic Party Chair Karen Thurman issued a statement this afternoon wishing Gov. Charlie Crist well in office. While Crist’s inaugural speech struck a unifying theme that “We are all Floridians,” the opposition party hopes “he is able to keep politics at arm’s length from his office.”
Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink is the state’s highest ranking Democrat. Thurman called her “a leader in the effort to reduce burdensome property insurance rates” and urged Crist to work with here to return balance to state government.
“Floridians are hurting, and they need leaders - not partisans - now. There is no time to waste,” Thurman’s statement said.
