Today, ALEX SINK shared with many Floridians and announced her candidacy for Governor of Florida in the November 2010 election. Florida is read for a Democrat to run the state!
Below is a copy of the email sent by her:
I'm writing to you today about my plans and my thoughts about the future of our state. We know that Floridians from Pensacola over to Jacksonville and all the way down to Key West are facing enormous challenges. Each and every day, the global financial crisis tests our families, our economy and our resolve.
I know you share my view that in unique and challenging times like these, our state needs a new and different kind of leadership.
As I travel around the state, thousands of Floridians have told me they need leaders committed to protecting the middle class, strengthening our economy and giving our families a fighting chance. As a businesswoman and working mom, I couldn't agree more.
Before the people of Florida elected me their CFO, I spent nearly three decades in business - creating jobs and economic opportunity in communities all across our state.
During my short time in state government, a couple of things have become crystal clear: Tallahassee's tired old ways of doing business just aren't enough to answer the urgent new challenges we face. And a state government influenced by narrow special interests cannot put the best interests of everyday Floridians first.
Today, I'm pleased to share with you that I've announced my candidacy for Governor of Florida in the November 2010 election, and I'm eager to work with you to put my business experience and know-how to work restoring our economy.
And, as Florida's CFO, I'll continue using my business experience to cut wasteful spending, crack down on financial fraud and reform state contracts.
For too long, we've had to tolerate a state government that puts playing politics ahead of helping families. Together, we can change all that, and give our state a fresh start. I hope you will join me as we fight to restore leadership to Tallahassee.
Sincerely,
Alex
