Well, it has finally happened.
Super rich two-term Miami Beach Mayor Phillip Levine has finally entered the 2018 Democratic gubernat0rial primary race, instantly catapulting himself as the clear frontrunner in the already crowded field.The often times abrasive and controversial Levine has a whole lot of money and says he is prepared to spend “absolutely millions” to with “a big state” like Florida.
