What you need to know about Florida’s presidential primaries

By Alyssa Feliciano | Mar. 9, 2020

Floridians will help decide on the nominees for the Democratic and Republican presidential elections. Election day for the state’s presidential primary is March 17, but early voting is going on until Saturday. Florida is a closed-primary state, which means voters can only vote for candidates in their registered party. Gainesville voters can elect city commissioners, regardless of party.

Letter to the Editor: It's time to impeach Michael Murphy

Nov. 21, 2019

Impeachment is a strong and often fearlessly used word, so much so that the popularity of the word on Merriam-Webster’s website jumped 3,600 percent the day House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced an impeachment inquiry into President Trump. By all means, impeachment is a rallying cry that screams justice, accountability and the need for marginalized voices to be loud and clear in the face of adversity. It’s for these reasons that our conscience and decency as a student body force us to begin the process of impeaching  president Michael Murphy.
