Gillum continues to lead DeSantis! Spread the word!

Talk to everyone you know, especially millennials!! They need to show up to vote. I spoke to a 26 year old female Gillum supporter today and urged her to talk to her friends and GOTV! We can do this. We can flip Florida but we need the Obama coalition of African-Americans, Hispanics, white progressives, and other good people to vote!!! Heck, talk to moderate Republicans, but our biggest target should be disaffected people who don’t regularly vote in midterm elections. Less than 6 weeks!!

DeSantis just hired a new campaign manager today. He is trying to right the ship. Hoping he doesn’t is NOT a strategy. We must support Gillum on social media, talks with our family and friends, and with any money we can donate.

11. In all fairness, DeSantis probably does follow Gollum. At least good friends.

Based on what I've observed of DeSantis.

12. Not completely sure. As of a few months ago it wasn't going well.

I think we might’ve turned the tide. I haven’t seen any recent media coverage though.
