Crist joined the [[Democratic Party]] in December 2012. In 2014, Crist is seeking another term as Governor, running as a Democratic candidate. During the campaign, Crist made incorrect statements about Governor Rick Scott cutting Florida's education budget. When critics uncovered Crist's inaccurate statements, Crist's campaign manager, Dan Gelber sent out an email to all of Crist's supporters on April 2, 2014, entitled, "Talk about egg on our face." Crist's failure to properly vet his facts will hurt his campaign.
