Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum will be in Fort Pierce Saturday, holding a joint campaign rally with Democratic congressional candidate Lauren Baer.

The rally will be held at Lincoln Park Academy's gym at 1 p.m., according to Baer's campaign.

This is the second time Gillum, who is also the mayor of Tallahasee, and Baer, who is running for the District 18 seat, have appeared at an event together. Both candidates also participated in a tour of the St. Lucie River earlier this month in Stuart and participated in a rally organized by local Democrats.

Gillum faces former Republican Congressman Ron DeSantis in the general election.

DeSantis was supposed to host a campaign rally in Vero Beach last weekend, but his campaign scrapped the event because of Hurricane Michael's devastation on Florida's Panhandle. Organizers said they hoped it could be rescheduled before the November election.
