Democratic U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown and Republican U.S. Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart are going to have a media event in Tallahassee on Monday to continue their fight against redistricting measures backed by FairDistrictsFlorida that will be on the November ballot. At the event, the two members of Congress will announce the kickoff of the No on Amendments 5 and 6 campaign. Both of them have been vocal opponents of the measures all throughout the year.

Incoming Democratic House Leader Ron Saunders of Key West turned his fire on someone from his party on Friday as he took aim at comments made by Eric Jotkoff, the communications director of the Florida Democratic Party, on the Florida Chamber of Commerce backing Republican Rick Scott for governor and Pam Bondi, the GOP nominee for attorney general.

On Friday, state CFO Alex Sink, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee, released her tax returns for the last five years -- and called for Republican rival Rick Scott to do the same.

Sink posted her tax returns-- and those of her husband attorney Bill McBride who was the Democratic candidate who lost to Gov. Jeb Bush back in 2002 -- on her site.

The two candidates running for the South Florida congressional seat that U.S. Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart is vacating focused on jobs Friday -- and threw jabs at each other on the subject.

Democrat Joe Garcia, a former Obama administration official who gave Diaz-Balart a spirited challenge in 2008, unveiled his jobs plan on Friday.

The campaign team of Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott weighed in on Friday on the announcement earlier in the day that Floridas unemployment rose to 11.7 percent -- and looked to blame their Democratic opponent, state CFO Alex Sink.

Former House Speaker Marco Rubio, the Republican candidate in the U.S. Senate, weighed in on the announcement made earlier on Friday that Floridas unemployment rate grew to 11.7 percent in August.

Ken Connor, best known nationally for being the former chairman of the Family Research Council and remembered in Tallahassee for his stints in charge of Florida Right-to-Life and his bid for the Republican gubernatorial nomination in 1994, offered his take on the recent controversy in Gainesville where Pastor Terry Jones of the Dove World Outreach Center wanted to mark the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks by burning Qurans.

The Agency for Workforce Innovation (AWI) announced on Friday that the unemployment rate rose yet again in Florida. For August the rate stood at 11.7 percent, an increase from July when it stood at 11.5 percent. Out of a pool of 9,229,000 Floridians, 1,084,000 remain without a job. From April and June, the rate dropped down from all-time record highs, but is starting to go up again.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott named chairmen in all 67 counties across the state on Thursday -- and had some interesting choices. Stafford Jones, a sold backer of Attorney General Bill McCollum, will head up efforts for Scott in Alachua County; RPOF vice-chairwoman Debbie Cox-Roush will lead Scotts team in Hillsborough County.

Floridians joined a coalition of religious and political leaders on Thursday in calling on Americans to pray for the nation and back the Manhattan Declaration, a statement calling for the rejection of abortion, support of traditional marriage and greater defense of religious liberty.
