I gotta say because of that call I went to her web site (www.nanrich2014.com ). Several issues stood out for me.

Supreme Court Appointments

"One of the most important – and long-lasting – privileges of a Florida Governor is to appoint Justices of the Florida Supreme Court and other judges. As governor, Nan Rich will appoint judges and Justices who are highly qualified, fair and impartial, and dedicated to equal protection under the law. Nan is committed to a non-political court system, where all Floridians have confidence that their cases are being decided in an unbiased and evenhanded manner.

It's important to note that the next Governor will appoint a majority of the Florida Supreme Court (4 out of 7 Justices). As Republican Governor, Charlie Crist appointed Charles Canady and Ricky Polston, two of the most right wing conservative judges to the Florida Supreme Court. "

GMO

Nan Rich strongly believes people should know what's in their food. Companies should be required to label genetically engineered food so that people can make an informed decision about what they buy to feed their families. As Governor of Florida, Rich would work toward implementing legislation that would require GMOs to be properly labeled.

Voting Rights

As Governor, Nan Rich will prioritize legislation to expand access to voting, and will veto any legislation that attempts to suppress voter registration or inhibits the ability of voters to exercise their right to vote.

Minimum Wage

Nan Rich is fully committed to raising the minimum wage from $7.93 an hour to $10.10 an hour.

I don't know how much of a chance she has, but would appreciate DUer's opinion of her.
