Three weeks after leaving the Florida Senate because of term limits, Lauren Book is running to return to Tallahassee. “Quite simply, my work is not done,” Book said in a statement Tuesday morning. “Residents deserve bipartisan solutions to the real problems our communities face, and as one of the most effective Democratic members of the Florida Senate in recent history, I have a proven track record of working across the aisle to achieve meaningful results.” Book, a Broward Democrat, filed paperwork on Monday to run for a different state Senate seat than the one she vacated.

DEAR MISS MANNERS: My brother is intelligent, educated, well-spoken and has a responsible job. He is also openly racist, misogynistic and homophobic — all for religious reasons, of course. To his credit, he never brings these subjects up, but if they do come up, he’s not at all bashful about articulating his bigoted views.
