Welcome to

Loranne Ausley, the Democratic candidate for Florida’s Chief Financial officer arrived at the Florida Press Center angry and without an entourage.

The candidate is accusing her Republican counterpart, Senate President Jeff Atwater, of dodging debates that have been scheduled for months.

“Jeff Atwater thinks he can be elected statewide without a debate,” Ausley said. “He thinks he can waltz from the Senate presidency, downstairs and across the hall, straight into the CFO’s office, and I’m not going to let him.”

Ausley says there is still time to debate on October 28th,  on the same network, Univision, that airs tonight’s first gubernatorial debate. Ausley trails Atwater in fundraising, with a million and a half dollars to about three million.
