AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Florida Politics & Elections: Democratic governor hopeful Dotie Joseph pitches a focus on affordability and civil rights as the Aug. 18 primary nears, while the Wasserman Schultz race keeps roiling Democrats with generational insurgents challenging long-timers. Judicial & Public Safety: A panel of lawyers says Florida judicial candidates should be judged first on trial experience, not typical campaign tactics. Immigration Enforcement: ICE’s planned electric-shock “distraction and de-escalation” gloves draw fresh backlash from Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost and rights groups, as critics warn the tech could be misused. Local Governance & 287(g): In Lake Worth Beach, immigrant rights advocates urge commissioners to rethink a Palm Beach County Sheriff contract extension over fears of expanded immigration crackdowns and profiling. State Courts & Taxes: Florida AG James Uthmeier rewrote the property tax amendment ballot title and summary after a judge found the original language misleading; voters must approve it by 60%.

Environment & Tourism: Walton County is sinking more concrete reefs and ships off the Gulf Coast to push year-round tourism. Government Contracts: The U.S. Navy awarded a $78M Florida-based firm a Sicily ordnance storage and maintenance facility contract. Tech & Privacy: Flock Safety says it will tighten license-plate camera privacy rules after Florida abuse allegations.
