Restaurant group's lobbying, campaign contributions spiked under Craig Miller
Florida Politics
During congressional candidate Craig Miller?s time as chairman of the National Restaurant Association, the organization?s efforts lobbying Congress spiked and it gave a record amount of campaign cash, federal records show.
Miller, a Republican, dropped a U.S. Senate bid to run for a congressional seat that includes St. Johns, Flagler, Putnam and Volusia counties. Bolstered by an endorsement from former GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain, the association?s former executive director, the contours of Miller?s campaign have been defined by an outsider, anti-Washington tone.

Mitt Romney backs Connie Mack for GOP Senate nod
Florida Politics
From the Associated Press
Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney says Connie Mack IV is his choice in Florida's GOP primary race for the U.S. Senate.
Romney announced Wednesday his endorsement of Mack, a congressman from Fort Myers, over former Sen. George LeMieux.
It's rare for presidential candidates to thrust themselves into primary races for other offices, but Romney said Mack is a friend. In a statement, the former Massachusetts governor also said Mack is a strong conservative who would oppose the "borrow and spend ways of Washington."

Mayor Alvin Brown's decision to bid out management of the city's entertainment facilities received two unusual supporters this week.
The Jacksonville branch of the National Association of Colored People and the state and local president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference sent separate letters to Brown this week applauding the bid.
"After careful and prayerful consideration, we write in support of your decision to engage in a competitive bidding process to choose a vendor to manage the city's sports and entertainment venues," the SCLC's R.L. Gundy wrote.
