Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings has suspended his gubernatorial campaign after being diagnosed with prostate cancer, announcing he’ll focus on his health and finish his mayoral term. His exit leaves Democrat David Jolley as the sole candidate in the race, marking a major shift. Demings, a trailblazer in public service — first Black police chief in Orlando and later sheriff — brings decades of leadership to the table. Married to former Rep. Val Demings and father to three sons and five grandchildren, he’s stepping back to prioritize his well-being while honoring his public duty.
