**GILLUM FACTS** TEN REASONS WHY ANDREW GILLUM IS TOO RADICAL, TOO CORRUPT FOR FLORIDA

TAMPA, FL- At tonight’s Florida Gubernatorial Debate hosted by CNN, Andrew Gillum tried to downplay his radical agenda and failed record as mayor of Tallahassee. The Republican Party of Florida has compiled ten reasons why Andrew Gillum is too radical and too corrupt to lead our state.

10 REASONS ANDREW GILLUM IS TOO RADICAL, TOO CORRUPT FOR FLORIDA

1. Saw Tallahassee’s Average Murder Rate Increase by 52% on his watch from 2010-2017. Gillum says he has provided exemplary leadership as a mayor, but in reality more people have been murdered under Gillum’s watch as Tallahassee’s average murder rate has increased 52 percent from 2010 to 2017. Gillum served as a city commissioner from 2003 to 2014 and was elected mayor in 2014.

2. Said NO to More Police in Tallahassee but Yes to $2 Million in Tax Dollars for His Friend’s Restaurant. Gillum says he will protect the state’s most vulnerable, but when it came to protecting his own residents he repeatedly denied law enforcement requests for additional police officers in Tallahassee but approved $2 million in taxpayer funding for a restaurant now at the center of an ongoing FBI investigation.

3. Closely Linked to an Ongoing FBI Investigation AND Vacationed With Undercover FBI Agents and Lobbyists in NYC and Costa Rica. Gillum says he is transparent and open, but in reality he refuses to come clean about a suspicious $15,000 deposit in his bank account and who paid for the luxury trip to Costa Rica he took with undercover FBI agents in 2016.

4. Wants to Raise Taxes by Over $1 Billion. Gillum says he wants to provide hope for those who are left out, but in reality he wants to raise taxes by $1 Billion on hardworking Florida families so that he can pay for his radical agenda.

5. After Hurricane Hermine, Refused Help From Outside Electric Workers, Leaving Thousands Without Power For Even Longer. Gillum says he wants to lead our state, but he failed the people of Tallahassee when Hurricane Hermine hit the community, refusing additional help and admitting mistakes were made.

6. Wants to Abolish ICE and Protect Criminal Illegal Immigrants. Gillum says he wants to protect Floridians, but he wants to abolish ICE, leaving our state vulnerable and less safe.

7. Supported by Left-Wing Billionaires George Soros and Tom Steyer AND Radicals like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Gillum’s agenda is taken directly from left-wing billionaires George Soros and Tom Steyers and radicals like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

8. Wants a $33 Trillion Single-Payer Health Plan That Would Take Away Current Coverage for Floridians. Gillum says that healthcare should be a right, but in reality he wants to impose a single-payer healthcare system which would cost $33 TRILLION and take away everyone’s current health insurance.

9. Opposes School Choice but Stands with Bureaucrats. Gillum says he wants our children to succeed, but in reality he wants to take away school choice opportunities from over 140,000 minority, poor and uniquely-abled students because he cares more about union bureaucrats than students and teachers.

10. Stands With Disgraced “Coward of Broward” Sheriff Scott Israel Over School Safety. Gillum says he wants to keep our kids safe, but in reality he stands with the disgraced “Coward of Broward” Sheriff Scott Israel over school safety. Learn more: Sun Sentinel

I hope what I’m seeing in Florida is a repeat of the “Bradley Effect” and that DeSantis is doing better in polling than it looks.

Same for Georgia.

I guess that I have been missing all if the issue ads for DeSantis outlining all of these issues. Either that or this is the worst Republican campaign I have ever seen. Just awful.

He's not doing jack. Just sitting on his political ass waiting for Trump to hold another rally for him or something.

Most of these races are dead heat or the Rat is winning by a few percentage points. Republicans need to step up their messaging and urgency. Get out there, hold press conferences, hold rallies with other Republicans in your state, and start calling these Democrats the Communist muther-----ers that they are.

Gillum bought and paid for by left wing billionaires, who are not residents of Florida.

Tom Steyer, the California billionaire and Democratic activist, is donating another $2 million to Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum.

The money comes in addition to previous donations to Gillum and extensive efforts on behalf of political organizations Steyer founded and funds, NextGen America and Need to Impeach.

“If you were going to choose a single race that has the most national significance, it would be the governor’s race in Florida,” Steyer told CNN.

Tom Steyer, not a Florida resident, endorsed Gillum in Florida and his organization, NextGen donated $800,000 to Gillum’s political committee for the primary.

Besides having a direct say in the 2020 redistricting who ever is elected governor in 2018 will appoint the Secretary of State for the 2020 elections. (They are appointed by governor in Florida, not elected) Secretary of State oversees elections.

Those posters are whining .
The ads are flying and the attack ads too.
The FL local media is just as radical,
as Calif now so Desantis gets much lower coverage.
The same thing happened in Scott's two
Gov races .
Early voting in some counties begins tomorrow .
Its weird because not all counties begin at same time .

Agreed. He’s up against millions of carpetbagger funds. It’s a major concern that there is little FL publicity for DeSantis.

And other states BEWARE if Steyer & Soros succeed in buying this governorship for their commie puppet. You could be next!

Cnn pulled a real dirty move .

They push out this really outrageous outlier poll just before they hosted this debate .
You know they worked that with Gillum .

Most decent polls show it tied just like Scotts polls showed in his 2 Fl Gov races .

Agree. Worst campaign in memory. DeSantis has waited far too long to get noticed, much less to get his message out and to refute Gillum’s garbage.

I’m guessing the ad buys are strategically placed by region. That is why some FL posters here are not seeing DeSantis polical ads.

I see lots of anti-Rick Scott ads. A navy Vet. one just ran.

The Fl media has purposely stopped covering Desantis at all .
The Fl media is so radical now and full of Trump hate.
Desantis is their target to get to Trump.

I see attack ads everywhere .

What else do you recommend ?

Maybe .
I see the ads on Hulu and Direct TV in Central Fl.
The media has an blackout of Desantis coverage .
I confronted the Channel 13 News Director in Orlando about it .
She was not happy..

This is the new Dem media strategy .
Ignore the Trump candidates.
