On June 18, Brian Moore, a long-time resident of Florida, filed to run for Governor in the Democratic Party primary. He will be the only opponent of Alex Sink. See this story, which focuses on the fact that Moore was the Socialist Party presidential candidate in 2008.

Moore’s ties with the Socialist Party have recently ended. Moore was also active in the Reform Party during 2004, the year the Reform Party nominated Ralph Nader for President.

June 18 was the deadline for candidates to file for election in Florida, for state office. The Florida deadline for congressional candidates was last month.
