Crist appeared before a crowd of about 750 at a town meeting at the Kings Point Town Meeting with Wexler and state Sen. Jeremy Ring, D-Parkland.
The governor pledged to fight for lower insurance rates and alternative energy and promoted a Jan. 29 referendum on super-sizing homestead property-tax exemptions.
"We're going to celebrate what we have, and I know that Washington and other states don't have it, and that's a spirit of bipartisanship coming from this governor," Ring said.
"I'm saying this about a Republican governor, I know that, but what we have is a gentleman who has broken down all political barriers as they have been defined in America," said Wexler, who praised Crist for backing a ballot paper trail and being supportive of Israel.
Wexler and Crist, friends since their days together in the Florida Senate in the 1990s, traveled to Israel together on a trade mission earlier this summer. When it was over, Crist stood at the edge of the stage at the Kings Point clubhouse shaking hands and chatting with members of the largely Democratic audience.
