demonstrates what we should pay attention to in all DEM candidates.

He's a great person with a great family but he seems to be in a rush to move up the political ladder without building the network he would need to play on a state wide and/or national stage.

He was elected Tallahassee mayor in 2013. That's just four years ago.

He doesn't have a law degree and I think that's important for both a gov and US senator.

He hasn't built the political power base he needs to compete in a statewide contest.

I think Graham is a better choice because she has a law degree, was a state rep and has the political network to not only get elected but bring other along running state leg races.
