Grievances against Mayor Buckhorn
The local news recently put out an article which discusses how a statue at Ulele is being removed. The statue, which depicts an indigenous American woman, is meant to be commemorative of Native culture. It is being removed due to legal issues with regard to the City, and is a show of where our Mayor’s energies go during his final months in office. Some people have mentioned how this action was a “last straw” in a line of legitimate grievances against Mayor Buckhorn.
Bob bombastically attacked the School Board when they fired Mary Ellen Elia, without regard for how disabled students died during a negligent superintendent’s incumbency. He opposed medical cannabis in 2014 — a slap in the face for patients, for people who know someone who benefits from cannabis as a medicine. He was Mayor while “Biking while Black” was first exposed as an issue for our police, and has done little to nothing for Tampa’s marginalized communities.
It’s okay to hold people accountable. There are legitimate grievances against Mayor Buckhorn, and what I have listed here probably just scratches the surface. If you have had an issue with the Buckhorn administration, please share, and help Tampa elect a different kind of Mayor in 2019. This next Mayor needs to be more than someone with a “D” next to their name. Municipal races in Tampa are “nonpartisan” and more than one candidate has switched to being Democrat as a Mayor of convenience. That being said, please, elect a better Mayor, Tampa.

MESSAGE TO TEAM GILLUM
MESSAGE TO TEAM GILLUM
Delivered 09/12/2018
Team Gillum,
Does Andrew Gillum support the 10-year, $38 billion military aid package to Israel?
Does Andrew Gillum endorse anti-BDS policies?
Does Andrew Gillum support the 2016 Florida Senate Bill 86 that sanctions companies that boycott Israel?
These are all claims the Orlando Weekly says your campaign has shared with them in an unreleased campaign position paper and I and several others want to know if it is true. I have asked these questions of your office before and have received no answer.
Opposing BDS, approving military aid to Israel and suppressing the right of companies to boycott Israel does NOT. in any way, support Israel's existence as a state but instead encourages Israel's government in it's inhumane oppression of the Palestinian people and it's openly admitted goal to completely eradicate the Palestinian population and claim all of Palestine for Israel.
Please respond. If there exists a campaign position paper stating Mayor Gillum's position on these issues, I feel you owe it to your supporters to make this paper public.
East Tampa community meeting, when you ask too many questions
This the reinforcement that they bring.

Gillum supports a $1 billion investment in public schools that would boost early childhood education, restore constructions funds and raise teacher salaries to the national average. To fund the program, Gillum would legalize marijuana and earmark taxes raised from its sale for the public-school budget. here
