Former state Sen. Annette Taddeo is taking her CFO campaign north.<\/p>\n

The Democratic nominee announced a weekend itinerary beginning Friday at Florida A&M University<\/a>\u00a0in Tallahassee, followed by voter turnout, community and faith-based events across five North Florida counties as she seeks to oust Republican CFO Blaise Ingoglia.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s heading to the capital and Panhandle less than two weeks before Election Day. Early voting is already underway in parts of the state.<\/p>\n

Her campaign announced the following stops:<\/p>\n

\u2014 Friday, Oct. 23, in Tallahassee: FAMU FAMFEST, 12-3 p.m., at the Will Packer Amphitheater<\/a>, 1675 S. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Friday, Oct. 23, in Tallahassee: FAMU National Pan-Hellenic Council Step Show, 7-9 p.m., at the Alfred Lawson Jr. Multipurpose Center<\/a>, 1800 Althea Gibson Way.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Saturday, Oct. 24, and Sunday, Oct. 25, in North Florida: Early voting, community and faith-based events in Gadsden, Jackson, Walton, Okaloosa and Leon counties. Specific times and venues were not included in the announcement.<\/p>\n

The trip follows an eight-stop campaign itinerary<\/a> Taddeo completed last week spanning Sarasota, The Villages, Orlando and South Florida, which included appearances with Democratic U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost; state Rep. Anna Eskamani, who is running for Orlando Mayor; state Rep. Angie Nixon, who is running for U.S. Senate; and Democratic Lieutenant Governor nominee Gwen Graham.<\/p>\n

Taddeo and Ingoglia have remained closely matched in several surveys despite Republicans\u2019 statewide registration advantage of more than 1.5 million voters.<\/p>\n

A James Madison Institute poll<\/a> released earlier this month put both candidates at 43% support. A separate St. Pete Polls survey<\/a> found Ingoglia ahead 44% to 42%, within its 3.4-percentage-point margin of error.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ingoglia, a former state Senator and Republican Party of Florida Chair, took office through a July 2025 appointment<\/a> by Gov. Ron DeSantis, succeeding Jimmy Patronis after his departure for Congress.<\/p>\n

The CFO heads the Department of Financial Services<\/a>, serves as State Fire Marshal and shares responsibility for insurance oversight. The position is one of Florida\u2019s three Cabinet offices.<\/p>\n
