Having chased state Sen. Carey Baker, R-Eustis, from the race, U.S. Rep. Adam Putnam is feeling secure about his chances to be Floridas next Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

Kendrick Meek, the leading Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate race, continues to gather signatures in his bid to become the first statewide candidate in Floridas history to get on the ballot by petition.
