The Herald recommends
OUR OPINION: Attorney General
Along with the governor, Florida's Cabinet officers serve as the Board of Clemency, oversee state pension funds and trust accounts, issue bonds, supervise the state's Veterans Affairs, Motor Vehicles, Law Enforcement and Revenue departments and have authority over all local comprehensive plans. They hear appeals of proposed developments of regional impact and administer the conservation and recreational land purchase program.
Attorney General
Republican Pam Bondi and Democrat Dan Gelber are in a lively race to replace Attorney General Bill McCollum. Nonparty candidate Jim Lewis is also on the ballot.
Ms. Bondi, 44, spent 18 years as an assistant state attorney in Hillsborough County. If elected, she would pursue Mr. McCollum's lawsuit against the healthcare reform law.
Mr. Gelber's public service record is stellar. He served on a U.S. Senate subcommittee in the mid-1990s that investigated worldwide terrorist activities, working for former Georgia Sen. Sam Nunn. He was a federal prosecutor in Miami and spent eight years in the state House and two in the state Senate.
Mr. Gelber, 49, is our choice. He says his No. 1 job will be to advocate for Floridians on everything from making sure residents affected by the BP spill get fair payments to creating an investment fraud task force to protect seniors. He would drop the healthcare lawsuit because he believes the reform bill will benefit Floridians. We do, too.
For Florida attorney general The Miami Herald recommends DAN GELBER.
