Gwen Graham "We Apologize Iowa"

"On behalf of the state of Florida, I would like to apologize for Sen. Rick Scott penetrating Iowa’s airwaves to smear Joe Biden just days before 
your caucus."

It’s no surprise to see the GOP use Rick Scott as their lead spokesperson to spread their lies. Before buying his way into politics, Scott was connected to one of the largest Medicare frauds in the nation's history — and then pleaded the fifth 75 times.
---
PolitiFact has rated Rick Scott’s ad “False” because the facts are clear — and on the former vice president’s side. HERE

Have you no sense of decency, sir?
 Became our senator in 2018 by 10,033 votes out of 8.19 million votes cast.

Florida Dem Alan Clendenin

Democratic National Committee Member Alan Clendenin is asking whether Republicans are using The Collective Super PAC to run negative ads against Democratic gubernatorial candidate
 Gwen Graham. here
-----
“Florida Democrats can’t understand why The Collective Super PAC is using secret money to falsely attack a progressive Democrat instead of sharing a positive message. The only plausible conclusion is that The Collective Super PAC is being used by Republicans to sabotage Graham because they know she is the best candidate to take back our state in November.”

Gwen Graham And The Men

With a threadbare resumé of public service and a record of voting for big business and against the environment, Gwen Graham has resorted to shouting that “it’s time” Florida elected a female governor. She has reminded audiences at every campaign stop that she is a woman and her three announced primary opponents are male.
-----
 The Graham staffer that concocted the “Gwen and the Men” slogan should never see another dawn as a paid political operative. 
-----
When Graham appeared with her primary opponents—Andrew Gillum, Chris King, and Phil Levine—at the Hillsborough Democratic Party’s Spring Fling last week, the main thrust of her brief remarks was that she is, indeed, a woman. The other candidates discussed issues, policy, and political philosophy. Voters far prefer candidates that can be counted on to follow through on campaign promises and represent their interests regardless of gender. On this most important criterion, Graham, who is a woman, gets an F minus. 
-----
Residents in Florida’s Big Bend, for example, feel they were hoodwinked by Graham, a female, during her two-year stint as a backbencher in the U. S. House of Representatives. Her voting record was an abomination to the Democrats that turned out in droves for her in a purple district. Graham, a biped with a vagina, voted with the Republicans and against the Florida Democratic delegation on key issues an amazing 43 percent of the time during the only one terms she served. Ironically, the only other Florida Democrat out of sync with his party’s values, former Congressman Patrick Murphy, is contemplating a late run for the governorship. He failed in bis challenge to the vulnerable Sen. Marco Rubio in 2016 because progressive Democrats refused to vote for essentially another Republican in the general election. 
-----
My Democratic contacts in Leon County, the portion of the Congressional district that voted heavily for Graham in her lone Congressional race, regret her tenure. No one I spoke with would ever again vote for Graham, a distaff personage. 
-----
For two decades Florida Democrats have continued to employ the failed strategy of a hard pivot to the right. Democratic candidates in Florida need to represent progressives or they have no chance in the general election. It will take far more than tapping into gender preferences or Phil Levine’s personal fortune to prevail in a statewide race.

Gwen Graham Running Third And Plummeting

There were two notable developments this week that strained the trust of even the most gullible reader.
-----
First, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gwen Graham, running third and plummeting in the polls, claimed she is the only candidate from her party capable of winning the general election.  This sack of balderdash was dutifully reported by some of the state’s media and 
pay-for-play blogs. here

Is Bob Graham Calling the Shots on the Times’ Targeting of Andrew Gillum?

The relentless inaccuracies from the Tampa Bay Times regarding Andrew Gillum has gone so far over the top that local political observers are suggesting that former U.S. Senator Bob Graham’s is behind the paper’s defamatory, insulting, and racist reporting and headlines.

Howard Dean Sells Out Again

 "I Am Proud to Give Gwen Graham 
My Full Support."
-----

Now that he is employed by a Health Care Lobby Firm.
here
-----
He no longer has any credibility in the Progressive community. Don't be fooled. This endorsement means noting. There is only one Progressive running for governor of Florida and that is Mayor Andrew Gillum.
-----
The founder of this blog started this effort in 2003 in his honor, as you can see in the footer.

Progressive Andrew Gillum For Governor Of Florida

Gwen Graham has the thinnest resume of the three candidates: one term as a Congresswoman representing a battleground Big Bend district.  Her definition of “reaching across the aisle” meant voting often with the Republicans such as favoring the Keystone 
XL Pipeline. 
-----
Andrew Gillum’s name recognition will increase as he travels the state and articulates the progressive values of the Democratic party.  With the FBI investigation behind him, he can energize Millennials, Latinos, African Americans, progressives of all backgrounds, and mainstream Democrats who are yearning for a charismatic candidate with ideas that don’t clone Republican policies and platform.
-----
It happened at a December community meeting in Tampa.   Gillum’s remarks were met with enthusiastic applause; the energy didn’t end with the formal meeting as young adults surrounded him outside the meeting room for conversation and photo ops. The positive reaction to Gillum’s appearance by Millennials is key to Democratic aspirations statewide.
-----
Millennials and Gen Xers made up 50 percent of the voters in 2016, but their turnout was only 59 percent compared to 75 percent for all voters statewide. more

Gwen Graham’s Minions Spreading Propaganda

Florida gubernatorial hopeful Gwen Graham, her operatives, and allies view Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum as her primary threat for the Democratic nomination and are attempting to marginalize him through a nasty 
whisper campaign.
-----
Her minions are not so subtly telling Democratic voters that Gillum is one of the targets in the FBI investigation of City of Tallahassee contracts.  That rumor, fueled by Graham’s operatives in Democratic circles has filtered into social media.  Gillum’s lack of involvement has been chronicled but the Graham campaign, along with her Times ally perpetuate an outdated, discredited story.
-----
Graham’s media ally, the Tampa Bay Times reported the fiction.  Former senator and governor Bob Graham, Gwen’s father, sits on the board of the Poynter Foundation.  The Poynter Institute is the majority stockholder in the Tampa Bay Times.

Millionaire Who Supports Republicans Gave $175,000 To Gwen Graham

Should campaign contributions matter? Could a millionaire who supports Republicans be hijacking the Democratic primary for Governor? He has already given $175,000 to Graham.

Ione Townsend A Graham Fan?

“Certainly, some number of our troops really want someone with more progressive leanings. There are progressive purists who are not tolerant of some of her votes and taking the district that she represented into account.”
