Former House Speaker Marco Rubio, the Republican candidate in the U.S. Senate election, launched a new television ad on Thursday, highlighting his family and calling them members of the most important generation in American history. Rubio, who reminded viewers that he was the son of exiles, hinted that the size of government could spiral even more out of control.

Sink also received the backing of the Police Benevolent Association (PBA).

Crist added that he will be keeping tabs on the event Saturday to ensure public safety.
