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

Rays Coming To Ybor

Fake News: Our fearless leader Corporate Welfare king Commissioner Ken Hagan and his corporate cronies will unveil a plan to build us a new Rays stadium in Ybor.

-----

Beware the catch! "The guarantee of sponsorships and ticket sales will be a major factor in how much the team will contribute toward a stadium."

-----

Hillsborough County taxpayers will not have to hand out a dime for construction of the new stadium or the surrounding infrastructure.
-----
Thank you Mr. Hagan and your corporate friends. To us Tampeños who don't like baseball this will be a great addition to our beloved Ybor!

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.
