The following are items of political interest from the past week: The campaign of Republican Ron DeSantis is going after Democrat Andrew Gillum over comments made by his running mate nearly two decades ago. Some voters this week got text messages that noted inflammatory comments made by lieutenant governor nominee Chris King back in 1999. King came in fifth in the election won by Gillum. The Gillum campaign sharply criticized the text messages as a "smear tactic" by the DeSantis campaign. It only took a few days for the Ring campaign to launch a rival website called JimmyPatronis.info that bashed some of Patronis campaign donors for their past legal run-ins. Patronis got a ticket while driving the SUV because he had an accident while traveling to his political consultant's office to pick up thank-you cards. Hillary Clinton may have lost Florida in the 2016 presidential election, but she's coming back to the state to help campaign for Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum. Gillum's campaign announced that Clinton will join Gillum on Oct. 23 in South Florida. Clinton made several visits to the Sunshine State ahead of the 2016 election, but the Democratic nominee lost the state to President Donald Trump by nearly 113,000 votes.
