Republican contenders for the party’s presidential nomination dominate the current news cycle, but Florida’s Republican women have their eyes on a key race in the US Senate. The nominee will challenge a Democrat, Sen. Bill Nelson, for the seat.

Three contenders will square off in a first-ever Florida Senate debate during the Florida Federation of Republican Women conference in Tallahassee. The debate will be held on Sunday, Feb. 19, the second day of a 4-day conference.

Participants include the 3 candidates who are currently polling nationally: former Sen. George LeMieux, former Rep. Connie Mack and newcomer to politics Col. Mike McCallister. Former (state) Rep. Adam Hasner had been scheduled, but he decided to run for a US House of Representatives seat instead.

FFRW president Cindy Graves said a “stringent and fair set of guidelines” was developed for selecting the debate participants.  For the complete article, click here:
