Kendrick Meek took time off his statewide bus tour to vote on the first day of early voting. Immediately after, he attended an early voting rally at the South Florida local of the AFL-CIO.
In a competitive race for U.S. Senate, Congressman Kendrick Meek brands himself as the candidate of the "working class." But he's also making an appeal to businesses.
"Tax cuts for businesses are important. Being able to make sure that we stand up for the middle class."
In an unusual move for a high-profile Democratic candidate, Meek even left the door open for extending some of the Bush-era tax cuts.
"Those tax cuts that promote jobs, we're going to continue to do it. Those tax cuts that are just promoting lining pockets and not helping our economy will definitely be on the table of consideration."
