Florida Progressive Caucus Calls for Putnam to Withdraw from Governor's Race

Susan Smith, President of the Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida, has released the following statement:

The Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida calls for the immediate withdrawal of Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services Adam Putnam from the governor's race.

Commissioner Putnam's failure to ensure that concealed weapons background checks were carried out and his blatant disregard for the rule of law disqualify him from leading our state. His gross incompetence and lack of accountability are evidence that he has a careless disregard for the safety of Floridians.
We deserve better.
