Bob Graham is one of the most successful politicians in modern Florida history, serving two terms as governor and three terms in the U.S. Senate. Now his daughter Gwen is ready to take the oath of office Tuesday in the U.S. House. The two campaigned together throughout northwest Florida last year, with the elder Graham, now 78, still a magnet for voters in his daughter’s Second Congressional District.
A Democrat, Bob Graham never lost an election, rising from a Miami Lakes state representative to governor in 1978. During that campaign, he introduced what became a theme: the workday, at which he performed the jobs of ordinary Floridians for a full eight hours. He has since performed hundreds, and Gwen Graham took up the practice during her campaign.
