Charlie Crist visits Brevard for meet-and-greet, blasts 'Rotten Ron' in campaign swing [View all]

SATELLITE BEACH — U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist took his campaign for Florida governor across the state Saturday for meet-and-greet events, stopping in Tampa, Polk County, and Kissimmee before coming to Brevard County in the evening.

The former Republican governor of Florida and three-term Democratic member of Congress is running as a Democrat to return to the governor's office. He spoke Saturday evening at Brevard County school board member Jennifer Jenkins' home in Satellite Beach, sharing some of his campaign goals and taking a handful of questions from the gathering of about 80 community members.

"I'm enjoying fighting for you. I'm trying to bring the sunshine back to the Sunshine State, because it's been dark under this clown," he said, referring to GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Calling him "Rotten Ron," Crist criticized DeSantis for his handling of environmental concerns, education and reproductive issues.
