Top Staff Quit On Andrew Gillum’s Struggling Florida Governor Campaign

Democrat Andrew Gillum’s Florida gubernatorial run deteriorated further today when his two top advisers abruptly parted ways with the campaign.  In just four months, the Tallahassee mayor’s campaign setbacks including — a FBI probe into corruption in Tallahassee, an ongoing criminal investigation using taxpayer funded resources for campaigning, allegedly caught using Charlie Crist’s donor list without permission, and overstating his campaign donors – it’s apparent Gillum is both untrustworthy and repeatedly demonstrates complete disregard for the law. Andrew Gillum would be a disaster for Florida.

The Tampa Bay Times reports:

“The top two people in charge of Democrat Andrew Gillum’s gubernatorial campaign are out, barely four months into Gillum’s run and following weeks of relatively low fundraising totals.

With both campaign manager Phillip Thompson and deputy campaign manager and finance director Brice Barnes leaving, it’s unclear who’s now in charge of the campaign for Gillum…

And Gillum, the mayor of Tallahassee, also now faces an additional hurdle: The stigma of an FBI investigation into the city he oversees. After the investigation became public last month, Gillum said the FBI “assured me I was not the focus of an investigation”; however, the probe is likely to loom over his gubernatorial bid, potentially deterring donors.”
