Florida’s primary races for commissioner of agriculture

The primary race for Florida Commissioner of Agriculture features Wilton Simpson and Matt Taylor, a position that oversees the state’s $13 billion ag sector through the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The commissioner sits on the Florida Cabinet, which manages various public agencies across sectors including forestry and aquaculture. While Simpson has raised over $30 million from major corporations, his challenger, Taylor, campaigns by focusing on bringing accountability to what he calls a "giant bureaucracy."
