He will raise taxes on all residents of Florida, he wants open borders, and he along with Bill Nelson want to make Florida a sanctuary state.

I am hoping the message about what Gillum really plans to do to Florida gets out to the public quick.
Pure lies....post links.

still waiting to hear about that..
Andrew Gillum’s campaign has cut ties with a campaign vendor and volunteer, Omar Smith, who was caught on undercover video by the conservative Project Veritas group saying that Gillum isn’t leveling with voters over how successful his agenda will be if elected and, perhaps more controversially, for calling Florida a “f---ed up ass state. It’s a cracker state.” Beyond that, the video is more hype than bombshell. It’s here. From the campaign: “These comments don’t reflect the mayor or what our campaign is about. The campaign has no tolerance for the comments made in the video and we have severed ties.”

Here are his thoughts on police - it's no surprise why law enforcement is not behind him. This and the anti cop pledge.

Speaking on the podcast “Pod Save America,” Gillum said he’s not “anti-police” but rather for “police accountability,” The Washington Free Beacon reported.

“Law enforcement society cannot work and, quite frankly, law enforcement cannot do its job if it does not have a trusting relationship with the community,” Gillum said.

“At the time that a law enforcement official has to go to a weapon, to a gun, to a baton, to a Taser,” then they’ve already gone “too far by their very presence,” he added, according to The Beacon.

Law enforcement IS behind Gillum.

Gillum proudly received the support of the sheriffs of Leon County, Alachua County, Orange County, Osceola County, and Gadsden County. The sheriffs recognized Mayor Gillum’s commitment to working with law enforcement to root out crime and corruption in Tallahassee and how he significantly reduced violent crime by 24 percent.

You do understand what this means right?

When police allow a situation to escalate to the point of violence & a law enforcement person has to use force, then they lost.

The sheriffs that endorsed him are democrats, so no surprise there. This organization supported Crist over Scott in the last election.

DeSantis will continue to stonewall medical marijuana in Florida, just like Rick Scott(R, current FL governor) has been doing.

Florida voters overwhelmingly voted for Medical Marijuana and it's legal in Florida. But the Rs, who say they are party of less government intervention, are dragging their feet and intervening in medical marijuana rules in FL and have recently lost lawsuits on this matter for purposely dragging their feet and placing roadblocks.

Gillum won't slow down the implementation of Medical Marijuana in FL like the R candidate will.

notice the same trend with Trump and Desantis supporters...they do not talk about any issues. It's all half truth smears and false equivalency fear mongering
