He took office in 2008, a time that was in some ways the inverse of the current political epoch.

In the wake of the election of Donald J. Trump, there's been an onslaught of reactions from all sides of the political spectrum.

It was surprising when State Rep. Dwight Dudley announced he was leaving his St. Petersburg area seat to run for judge.
