Dem Nominee For Florida Governor Is Far-Left Mayor With Corruption Investigation Swirling Around Him

The second coming of Obama.

Via Daily Caller:

Tallahassee mayor Andrew Gillum won Florida’s Democratic gubernatorial primary on Tuesday, kicking off a race for the governorship against Republican primary winner, Rep. Ron DeSantis.

Gillum edged out a victory over a field of seven Democrats, taking 34 percent of the vote. DeSantis defeated seven other Republicans to win 56 percent of his party’s vote.

Gillum has served as the mayor of Tallahassee since 2014. The USA Herold referred to his candidacy as the “far-left choice,” and he has been endorsed by Vermont Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders. In addition to raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour, Gillum has called for universal health care and increasing corporate taxes.

The FBI launched an investigation into Tallahassee’s city hall and key government players as early as 2015 as part of an on-going corruption probe. Part of the extensive investigation is targeted at Gillum’s longtime friend and former campaign manager, whose restaurant received tax money.

“We expect the city to respond fully and completely to the subpoena and we hope the situation is resolved quickly,” Gillum’s campaign spokesman told The Tallahassee Democrat after city officials received a new round of subpoeans.

Gillum also previously came under fire after failing to disclose more than $400,000 in mortgage debts on his financial disclosure forms.
