Three Republican candidates vying to replace outgoing U.S. Senator Marco Rubio in next year’s Florida Republican Senate primary were all in attendance at the annual Palm Beach Republican Executive Committee’s “Lobsterfest” event at the Broken Woods Country Club in Boca Raton Florida.
Rep. Ron Desantis, Lt. Governor Lopez-Cantera, and former CIA officer and Special Forces Major, Todd Wilcox (pictured), all stepped up to the microphone to make the case for their candidacy for the U.S. SenateThe only announced Senate candidate that was not in attendance was Rep. David Jolly, who was out of the country on official government business.
We spoke to Wilcox prior to his address about the candidacy, and the former Green Beret said that he wasn’t “easily intimidated” in the Senate race, or in anything else, adding that there was a “fatigue of career politicians” sentiment brewing within the American electorate.

Wilcox also commented on the recent revelation that then-lobbyist David Jolly donated to the campaign of a former Planned Parenthood abortion clinic owner, who at the time was running for reelection to the U.S. Congress, saying the he (Jolly) was “in the same ilk as the rest of them.”
That is what we get when we continue to elected career politicians…He’s going to have a hard time defending that,” said Wilcox.
Both Lopez-Cantera and DeSantis stuck to their talking points, not saying anything that they haven’t already stated in public.Lopez-Canter did however equate Democrat Senate candidate Rep. Patrick Murphy to his old nemesis in the Florida legislature, Charlie Crist.
