U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris is coming to Florida this weekend in support of her Senate colleague Bill Nelson.
Nelson and California’s junior senator will attend a private Sarasota fundraiser on Saturday, and on Sunday morning in Miami speak to churchgoers at four different congregations.
“Bill Nelson fights for all Floridians, no matter their race, religion or income,” Harris said. “And I am honored to join him in Florida so we can continue to protect voting rights and health care for millions of Americans, make college more affordable and ensure Americans can retire with dignity.”
Harris’ visit is the latest in a number of Florida stops that high-profile Democrats have made on behalf of Nelson’s re-election. Former Vice President Joe Biden and U.S. Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey were here campaigning with Nelson, who faces a tough challenge from Gov. Rick Scott.
Also joining Nelson and Harris on Sunday will be Sean Shaw, the Democratic candidate for attorney general and son of the late Florida Supreme Court Justice Leander Shaw, and state Rep. Kionne McGhee.
