Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum (D) announced Saturday that he will miss the first of three scheduled debates against Rep. Ron DeSantis (R) as he directs storm cleanup efforts in Tallahassee.

Gillum, who is the mayor of Tallahassee, told the Tampa Bay Times in a statement that he would miss Tuesday's planned debate in Orlando, Fla., and would return to the campaign trail on Thursday.

"In times like these, campaigning has to take a backseat to governing. My job is to keep our community safe and ensure Tallahassee recovers as quickly and fully as possible," he told the Times.

2. What a novel thought...........

doing your job instead of campaigning, letting all of those "people waiting in line" (who were paid to be there) and not giving them the thrill of seeing you.
Wonder if this is an idea that could catch on with others?

5. DeSantis has been running false and misleading (lying) ads on Gillum's

response to previous post hurricane efforts.

Suck on it, Ronnie.
