Candidate's wife stops in Central Florida

The Democratic candidate’s wife met today with seven volunteers of the Adult Literacy League in Orlando. She told the workers about her husband’s commitment to volunteer programs.

“How many adult learners can you handle?” she asked. “How do you guys do outreach?”
