Two in the race to challenge Corey Simon for Tallahassee Senate seat Democrats have begun lining up to to challenge Republican Sen. Corey Simon for the seat representing Tallahassee and 13 surrounding counties in the state legislature. Both a Gadsden County Commissioner and a labor union executive have opened campaign accounts and filed as candidates with the Secretary of State office. Quincy's Kimblin Euguene NeSmith, a Gadsden County Commissioner, and Tallahassee's Sheria Monique Griffin, a director with the Florida Education Association, will face off in a Democratic primary for the right to advance to the general election and reclaim what has historically been a Democratic seat, which Simon flipped to the GOP last year.
