Nicole “Nikki” Fried’s official campaign account has been terminated for
the second time in three weeks, this time by banking giant BB&T.

Fried, a Fort Lauderdale-based lawyer, is the Democratic candidate for agriculture commissioner. She is also one of the state’s most prominent lobbyists for expanding access to medical marijuana. In 2016, Fried played
a crucial role in the passing of HB 307, a bill relating to the use of
medical marijuana for those with terminal illness.

On Aug. 29, BB&T called the Fried campaign to tell them that the
campaign’s bank account had to be closed within 30 days, campaign manager Alicia Stallworth said Thursday. On Aug. 31, the campaign received an
email that said the campaign had to be closed on Sept. 5 — leaving just
three business days.

Stallworth did not say to which bank the campaign has switched its account
but said they plan to announce more details on Monday.
