Welcome to

A Ft. Lauderdale man who spent 36 years traveling the country for the U-S Department of Agriculture was a last minute addition to the race for state Agriculture Commissioner today. Thad Hamilton says he is running because state government needs more diversity.

“I’ve worked across this nation in Agriculture and the Environment. I’m also a retired colonel from the United States Army. It’s time for us to unite the state of Florida. We must take the Agriculture, the Environment and the people. Bring them together because we must develop a sustainable state. Right now we don’t have a sustainable state we have division” says the newly minted candidate Hamilton.

Current Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam is reporting one point nine million in his reelection bid. A write in candidate has also filed for the race.
