Republican Charlie Crist is served as the Attorney General of Florida from 2003-2007 and is currently the governor of Florida. As governor, Crist has signed executive orders imposing strict emissions controls, fought insurance companies to lower their rates and has been called "the state's first black governor" for his work to ease race relations.St. Petersburg Times: 'The first black governor' (February 21, 2007)
In July of 2009, Crist's office sent a "thank you" letter to a "pro-white" candidate for State House after receiving a DVD copy of the Nazi propaganda film Jud Suss. Crist's office later retracted the letter, condemning the film, and asked Ubele to remove the thank you from his website.http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20090724/BLOG29/907249953/-1/NEWSSITEMAP
