MARTIN COUNTY — Tallahasse Mayor Andrew Gillum will campaign in Stuart Oct. 7, according to the Treasure Coast Democratic Environmental Caucus.

Gillum, the Democrat nominee facing Republican Ron DeSantis, will speak at 11 a.m. at Memorial Park, 300 Southeast Ocean Boulevard, Stuart, the caucus said.

The caucus is a non-profit environmental group that advocates protecting and enhancing Florida’s natural resources.

The general election happens Nov. 6.

A Quinnipiac University poll found 54 percent of likely voters back Gillum while 45 percent support DeSantis. The 9-point gap is wider than the 3-point gap found in a Quinnipiac poll released earlier this month.
