This Week in South Florida: Naomi Blemur

PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – In one of the big statewide races in November, a political newcomer from South Florida, a Democrat, is taking on the Republican State Senate President in the race for Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

Currently in that role, Nikki Fried is the lone Democrat in statewide elected government.

This Week in South Florida invited both candidates to join Sunday’s show. Senate President Wilton Simpson did not respond to requests for an interview, but Naomi Blemur did.

She is a businesswoman and active in local government, and now state candidate for Florida voters to consider.

She joined This Week in South Florida host Glenna Milberg to discuss, and their conversation can be seen at the top of this page.
