Florida Democratic Party Chair Allison Tant said Tuesday night that Crist “has always put the people first.” Citing Crist’s record on jobs and taxes, Tant said Democrats around the state “are ready to work harder than we’ve ever worked to elect Charlie Crist governor of Florida.”
Crist, who served as governor of Florida from 2007 to 2011 as a Republican, has since become a Democrat.
Tant also commended Crist’s opponent, state Sen. Nan Rich, calling his campaign one of “principle, courage and tireless effort.”
“This campaign will come down to who Floridians trust to fight for them,” Tant said, “and they know that Charlie Crist has always been on the side of the people.”
