Charlie Crist defeated Cadance Daniel, Nikki Fried, and Robert Willis in the Democratic primary election for Governor of Florida on August 23, 2022.[1]
Crist was elected to the U.S. House in 2016. He served as governor from 2007 to 2011, attorney general from 2003 to 2007, state education commissioner from 2001 to 2003, and in the state senate from 1992 to 1998. Crist was elected to state office as a Republican before becoming an independent in 2010 and a Democrat in 2012. Crist campaigned on five steps he says would make it easier to vote in the state, including reversing 2021 changes to the state's mail ballot policies, providing clean water, and easing transitions for out-of-state transplants as key issues. Three members of Florida's U.S. House delegation, at least 22 state legislators, the Florida Education Association, and the Florida AFL-CIO endorsed Crist.
Fried was elected as agriculture commissioner in 2018 and was, at the time of the election, the only Democrat holding statewide office in Florida. Prior to holding elected office, Fried was a public defender, an attorney in private practice, and a government affairs advocate for the marijuana industry. Fried campaigned on reducing housing costs, lowering the price of homeowner's insurance, a $15 minimum wage, and creating a small business growth fund. At least four state legislators and the Democratic Black Caucus of Florida endorsed Fried.
Crist's campaign focused on restoring civility, ending divisive politics, and working across the political aisle. CNN's Steve Contorno compared his campaign strategy to that of President Joe Biden (D) in 2020. Fried's campaign focused on the idea of electing a new face in Florida politics and cited Crist's loss in 2014 to then-Gov. Rick Scott (R) and Biden's three-point 2020 loss in the state as reasons voters should nominate her.[2]
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) ran for re-election. At the time of the primary, three independent election forecasters rated the general election as Likely Republican.
At the time of the election, Republicans held both a trifecta and a triplex in the state, meaning they held majorities in both chambers of the state legislature along with the positions of governor, attorney general, and secretary of state. Florida was one of 20 states to have both a Republican trifecta and a Republican triplex at the time of the election.

Polls
- See also: Ballotpedia's approach to covering polls
Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.[7] The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."[8] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here.

- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[14]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
