Florida’s State Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, the only Democrat holding statewide electoral office, as well as the only Jewish woman ever to win a statewide race, today announced her candidacy to challenge incumbent Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Fried, 43, a South Florida attorney, acknowledged she has a steep hill to climb, presuming she wins the Democratic primary.
“I’ve been up against odds my entire life,” she said in an interview with the Forward. “I continue to fight the good old boys in Tallahassee. Everywhere I go I hear people say the system doesn’t work for them and my heart breaks for them. Now it’s time to fix the system.”
