Related: About this forumHillary Clinton rolls out Florida support
Her campaign said late Monday it has launched a Florida Leadership Council to organize events and volunteers ahead of the March 15 state primary. The group includes U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, the only Democrat elected statewide, and Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine, a longtime Clinton friend.
When it comes to Floridas cities, and the challenges they face, Hillary Clinton is the best candidate equipped to tackle and move them forward, Levine said in a statement. Clinton gets it, and will make a fundamental difference for every city in America.
Clintons state support includes Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Allison Tant as well as every Florida Democratic member of Congress except Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Weston, the Democratic National Committee chairwoman, and Rep. Gwen Graham of Tallahassee. Her father, former U.S. Sen. Bob Graham, is on Clintons list.
So are eight state senators and 28 state representatives, and the mayors of Tampa and Orlando and, in South Florida, of North Miami, Palmetto Bay, Pinecrest, Hallandale Beach, Weston and Wilton Manors. Clintons team also includes county commissioners, school board members, city council members, former elected officials, activists and fundraisers.

Hillary will be in Tampa in two weeks.
