NELSON TO BE JOINED BY RETIRED GENERAL CLARK IN SARASOTA

In an effort to shore up his reelection coffers, Senator Bill Nelson will be holding a major fundraising luncheon event Friday in Sarasota, the first such appearance since Congresswoman Katherine Harris announced her candidacy for Nelson's seat.

The event, for which tickets will range between $250 and $4,200, will feature 2004 Democratic presidential candidate and retired four-star general Wesley Clark...on Veterans' Day.

In addition to the Sarasota fundraiser, Clark will also appear with the senator for a breakfast in Orlando and an evening reception in Tampa.

It's great to see General Clark remaining active, while remaining generally "under the radar", making occasional appearances and through his WesPAC. I had the pleasure of meeting him last fall at the Florida Democratic Party state conference, and was impressed talking with him briefly and hearing him speak to those of us gathered.

Should be some great events across Central Florida.
