Bronson: GOP primary in governor’s race needed to debate issues
by Michael C. Bender | May 13th, 2009Florida Agriculture Commissioner Charles Bronson is one of three state Cabinet members considering a run for governor. Here’s what he said this morning about a possible Republican primary with Attorney General Bill McCollum, who is expected to announce his plans next week:
“To get some of issues of the state really talked about I just felt like there needs to be a discussion there. And a primary is the best way to get that discussion out,” Bronson said.
“I don’t know that will happen unless we can get a real race going that’s meaningful in this thing. I’ll wait until I finish up all my phone calls.”
Bronson said he’d make his decision “early next week.”
With a potentially bloody GOP primary between Gov. Charlie Crist and former House Speaker Marco Rubio for U.S. Senate, a number of Republican heavies are lining up behind McCollum in hopes of focusing time and energy on a campaign against state CFO Alex Sink, the Democratic front runner for governor.
