Politico reports:
Democrat Charlie Crist will pick Karla Hernández-Mats, the head of Miami-Dade County’s largest teachers union, as his running mate as he seeks to unseat Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Crist is expected to formally announce his pick during a Saturday rally in Miami that he’s holding to officially kick off his general election campaign. Crist trounced Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried 59-34 in Tuesday night’s primary and is now preparing for an uphill battle against DeSantis, who is a heavy favorite.
In addition to his focus on education as governor, DeSantis is the first governor in state history to get heavily involved in local school board races, which are nonpartisan by law. At least 20 of 30 DeSantis-backed school board candidates won their Tuesday night contests.

The announcement will be made Saturday at Hialeah Middle School, where Hernandez-Mats worked for more than ten years teaching children with special needs. In 2010 she was the school district’s Teacher of the Year. @CBSMiami
