UF students will have a chance Tuesday afternoon to hear from one of Florida’s gubernatorial candidates.
As part of a statewide bus tour, Philip Levine, a former Miami Beach Mayor and a gubernatorial candidate for elections in November, will speak at the Lubavitch Chabad Jewish Center, located at 2021 NW Fifth Ave, on Tuesday at 3 p.m., according to a press release from his campaign office.
Levine’s “Live! from Florida’s Living Rooms” tour will launch Tuesday morning in response to Gov. Rick Scott’s final State of the State speech. Scott will leave office next January due to term limits.
Levine, a Democrat who has built a platform on fighting climate change and sea-level rise in his four years as Miami Beach’s mayor, will visit 10 Florida cities from Jacksonville to key Largo between Tuesday and Friday.
Christian Ulvert, Levine’s senior campaign adviser, wrote in an email that Levine’s goal with the statewide tour is to bring Florida politics out of Tallahassee and into Floridians’ homes.
“On this tour, we are engaging with all voters across our state, from college students to retirees, on building a better future for all of us,” Ulvert said.
