Luther Campbell, the civic and political activist who jolted the establishment status quo decades ago with his raunchy lyrics, has a new way to shake things up: challenging a sitting Florida congresswoman in a Democratic primary.
Publicly, Campbell hasn’t decided. But he’s been teasing a candidacy — sometimes in unorthodox ways even by current-day routines of celebrity politicians — in a way that makes it sound as if he’s going to run.

Bob Graham and Broward County had a close but complicated relationship.
At election time, Broward voters loved “Chipmunk Cheeks,” as he was affectionately called, and they showed it, producing overwhelming margins in both of his victories for governor in 1978 and 1982.

“Integrity, honesty, decency, compassion” were the Sun Sentinel’s front-page words honoring Bob Graham, Florida’s former governor and senator. I doubt that those words will ever be associated with Gov. Ron DeSantis, especially after he signed House Bill 433 and Senate Bill 1264.
Perhaps DeSantis should follow Graham’s practice of “workdays” and see what it’s like to work outdoors in the Florida sun.
