Nikki Fried Officially Running for Governor Against Ron DeSantis
She's finally in and we are off to the races.
Javier Manjarres | June 1, 2021
It’s official! Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has finally signed the controversial Transgender female sports ban into law today and has once again taken the media reigns for the day. Oh, wait, Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried filed paperwork to put herself on the ballot for governor in 2022.
Commissioner Fried’s non-announcement fell on deaf ears and was overshadowed by DeSantis’s signing of the transgender bill in Jacksonville.
Fried filed the paperwork but has not announced her actions on Twitter or any other social media out, which is kind of weird considering that everything she has done in the months leading up to her filing date has been pushed on social media platforms.
Fried recently told The Floridian that she would not be announcing in the same public way Rep. Charlie Crist announced his gubernatorial campaign, suggesting that her say in the sun would be done online.
And now there is a video announcement:
Because Fried telegraphed when she would announce her campaign, Florida and national Republicans were ready to pounce.
Within minutes after Fried’s official candidacy was posted to the Florida Department of Election’s website, the Republican Party of Florida teed off on Fried, accusing her of attempting to overturn DeSantis’ Executive Order on schools and called her a “lockdown lobbyist.”
“Nikki Fried tried to close Florida schools and attempted to overturn Governor DeSantis’ Executive Order to get our kids back in the classroom. She is a lockdown lobbyist who can’t be trusted to make the right decisions for Florida families,” stated the Florida GOP.
The state Republican party is referring to a tweet Fried put out on July 7, 2020, in regard to DeSantis’s edict to reopen schools.
“Parents I have spoken with are terrified. There have been no guidelines, no flexibility for parents or school districts, and no protections for teachers and students. We need to get #COVID19 under control before we force our children back into schools,” stated Fried,
The Republican Governor’s Association (RGA), which will play a significant role in trying to get DeSantis reelected to office, calling her movements leading up to her campaign filing as “desperate political posturing.”
“Instead of using her office to work for the people of Florida, Nikki Fried has spent the last 2 and a half years working to better herself,” said RGA spokesperson Joanna Rodriguez. “Floridians want someone who will fight for them tirelessly, and Fried’s desperate political posturing and reliance on lies and pandering to make a point prove she’s the exact opposite of what Florida needs.”
He was a 6th Generation Florida FARMER. A Farmer for the Agriculture Sec. for Florida. It’s Agriculture and Consumer division btw which oversees firearms tracing/approval, and inspection of gasoline/fuel distributors pump accuracy as well as agricultural and weigh stations. She is a corrupt Leftist pocket lining marijuana promoting biotch. Needs to disappear.
Crist is a pole smoker trial lawyer former mentee of JEB! Go figure. In the pals sector of the loser queer Gilliam found in a miami condo room with used condos, lube and all kinds of illegal drugs with a male prostitute— and he thought he was going to be governor for the dems vs. deSantis. These three are the weirdo street level opportunists and pervos that even casual observance had verified. DeSantis is brilliant and ultra competent.
‘Republicans Pounce’

Her face is eerily similar to Jenner's.
Darling Nikki (Prince)
I knew a girl named Nikki
I guess you could say she was a sex fiend
I met her in a hotel lobby
Masturbating with a magazine
She said how’d you like to waste some time?
And I could not resist when I saw little Nikki grind
Nikki Fried admits secret stake in marijuana company. How she got it remains a mystery.
i agree. no way she really won with her rhetoric.
That’s just what you need, Florida, a Jewish dem woman for Governor. And I’m part Jew. You’ll be so sorry!
What a stupid name!
She’s probably as stupid as her name implies
However, in 2018, he barely beat a scandal tainted Black candidate for governor.
After four more years of massive foreign and Blue State immigration into Florida, does anyone think that DeSantis has a realistic chance of being reelected?
She’s the first AgSec in FL history to put her face on the stickers affixed to gas station pumps. One of the most vandalized things I’ve ever seen.
Big media will talk about how awesome and smart she is and how hungry Floridians are for change. Then she will lose by 20+ points to DeSantis

I really see the 2020’s as the decade of democrats.. The writing is on the wall, especially in the south. GA already, FL maybe and TX definitely go blue sometime this decade. Maybe in just a few years. It’s a nightmare but this country’s over.
She owns a $700,000 mansion in Tallahassee, and has been under a long-lasting investigation for gift donations in violation of Florida law.......
All this and more fascinating details in Wikipedia and other sources.
Classy lady, classy Democrat candidate....oh, yeah !

Nikki Fried, her perennial fiance Jake Bergmann...
Fried's fiancée, Jake Bergmann, is a prominent marijuana entrepreneur in Florida.[34] Her relationship with Bergmann has been criticized as a conflict of interest, as Bergmann's business often results in dealings with the Florida Department of Agriculture.[35][36] As a result, Bergmann's 2019 purchase of a $700,000 house in Tallahassee for Fried was seen a possible violation of Florida's gift laws, which does not allow elected officials to receive gifts over $100, even if the person offering the gift is a romantic partner.[37][38]
In June 2020, Fried and Bergmann were engaged in a verbal argument at a hotel in Fort Lauderdale resulting from a car accident in the parking lot of the hotel. A security guard who witnessed the incident claimed that Bergmann threw a trash can and shoved Fried, though Fried denies the latter.[39][40] Bergmann was escorted off of the property by the Fort Lauderdale Police Department and a formal police report was filed, but no arrest was made.[41] Following the incident, Fried denied that Bergmann was physically abusive to her and purged a number of high-level staffers who criticized him.[42][43]
43 years old and never married.
Hmmm... 
Seemingly appropriate. She has probably overconsumed on her boyfriend's and her father's product.
Fried Nikki.
She reminds me of James Carville, with a wig.
Those eyebrows 😱
Botox much?
