How the environment and toxic waters played in yesterday's primary election: quick take ... by gimleteye

Quick reactions this morning.

Gwen Graham: hurt by the American Dream Mall/ Graham Companies issue.

Big Sugar's sweet embrace wrecked Adam Putnam with disaffected coastal Republicans, who are watching their businesses and coastal property values disintegrate.

DeSantis took up the war against Big Sugar's dark influence over Florida politics and gained massively among Republican voters impacted by the state's toxic tides.

Rick Scott is also clearly aligned with the state's biggest polluters.

Prediction: Gillum, who was slow to warm to the importance of the toxic waters issue, will quickly come around.

It would be a big mistake for Gillum's campaign to align with the Big Sugar/ Jesse Jackson faction of the African American vote.
