AP reporting Craig Miller will announce his bid for US Senate. Miller, former CEO of Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse, appeared last month on Fox News touting his business experience.

“Miller, who placed third in a five-way race for Congress last year, plans to fly around the state with stops in Orlando, Tampa, Naples, West Palm Beach and Jacksonville to make the announcement.”

“Miller was forced to leave Ruth’s Chris in 2008 after the chain’s profits dropped and stock value fell nearly 70 percent. He was given a $2.4 million severance package, the Orlando Sentinel reported at the time. He previously served as CEO of Uno Restaurant Holdings Corp. He also had volunteered for the Air Force during the Vietnam War.”

George LeMieux Raises $950k

Here is an email from George LeMieux’s campaign announcing their haul of $950,000.

“I wanted to take a moment to share with you some exciting news!
This morning, Senator LeMieux will announce that our campaign raised over $950,000, winning the fundraising quarter over the Republican competition.

For the past three months, George has been traveling throughout the state visiting with many grassroots, community, faith, and business organizations and the reception has been overwhelming. Just last week George spoke at the Pinellas 912 Patriots meeting and the St. Lucie County Lincoln Day dinner. We’ve signed up hundreds of supporters, interviewed with dozens of radio shows and blogs, and spoken with countless voters who are looking for conservative solutions to our nation’s challenges.

With contributors from all over Florida, George’s campaign continues to strengthen and his grassroots momentum is reflected in his fundraising success.

In the 2012 election, we have an incredible opportunity to take back the White House, retire Bill Nelson, and end Harry Reid’s reign as Majority Leader. Washington is bizarre and broken and now more than ever we need proven conservative leadership to save America from its government. From students to small business owners to retired military personnel – Republicans across Florida are rallying behind George’s campaign because they believe he has what it takes to defeat the Democrats’ liberal agenda.

Thank you again for your support of Senator LeMieux and your steadfast commitment to our campaign. We are greatly encouraged by this strong start and about George’s bold vision to protect our future. Whether you are helping spread our message online or you have contributed to our campaign, you have helped make this early momentum possible.

While we are off to an incredible start, this is only the beginning and we need your continued support to build our team. Please invite a friend today to join our cause at http://www.georgeforflorida.com.

Regards,

Brian Seitchik
Campaign Manager
