CNN
Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried on Tuesday announced a run for governor, setting up a primary between the only statewide-elected Democrat in Florida and Rep. Charlie Crist.
Fried made the announcement in a video posted on Twitter where she attacks the Sunshine State's "rigged system" and pledges to take on a range of issues that include health care, education and marijuana legalization. "We can build a state that gives power back to you," Fried said in the video. "Listen, this won't be easy. Those in power will do whatever harm it takes to stay there. But I have spent my whole life taking on the system. I am unafraid, I'm tested, I am ready."More Related News
