Democratic Broward County Property Appraiser Lori Parrish, who has held a variety of elected offices since 1984, doesn’t rule out supporting Gov. Charlie Crist’s independent U.S. Senate campaign.

“If he vetoes that stupid abortion bill, you bet I might,” Parrish said, referring to the bill before Crist that would require women to view ultrasounds before they could get abortions.

Asked about presumptive Democratic Senate nominee Kendrick Meek, Parrish said, “Honestly, I’m not sure I want to waste my vote….I think he’s a nice guy….I haven’t seen him around that much. I’ve heard positive things about him.”

Since lifelong Republican Crist abandoned his failing GOP primary campaign and filed as a no-party candidate, early polls show him leading Republican Marco Rubio with Democrat Meek in third place drawing less than 20 percent.

Broward appraiser Parrish to endorse Aronberg in AG race

Thursday, June 25th, 2009 by George Bennett

Broward County Property Appraiser Lori Parrish today will endorse state Sen. Dave Aronberg, D-Greenacres, in the Democratic primary for attorney general, an Aronberg campaign adviser says.

Aronberg and state Sen. Dan Gelber, D-Miami Beach, are the only announced Democrats in the AG race, which means both have similar South Florida bases for their statewide campaigns. That could be a problem for them if former state Sen. Rod Smith of Alachua enters the Democratic primary.

Gelber recently ventured into Aronberg’s turf to pick up an endorsement from Palm Beach County Tax Collector Anne Gannon. Aronberg returned the favor by snagging an endorsement from Miami Beach City Commissioner Noah Wolfson, who’s hosting a fund-raiser for Aronberg this month.
