The Miami-Dade Democratic Party’s Blue Gala is set to bring Florida’s statewide Democratic candidates and several congressional candidates together. Senate candidate Angie Nixon and gubernatorial candidate David Jolly headline the event as Democrats target three South Florida Republican-held House seats.
The Miami-Dade Democratic Party’s Blue Gala is scheduled for Saturday at the Frost Science Museum. Gubernatorial candidate David Jolly and U.S. Senate candidate Angie Nixon are among the statewide candidates expected to attend; the party says all five Democrats running for statewide office will be there.
