Miami Herald endorses Gillum for governor

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Miami Herald editorial board on Sunday endorsed Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum for governor over his Republican opponent, former Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.).

The newspaper's editorial board wrote Floridians can only expect "more of the same" if they vote for DeSantis.

The two are facing off to replace term-limited Gov. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), who is now running for senator.

"The tenacity, political smarts and commitment to public service that propelled this Tallahassee mayor to victory from the bottom of the pack of better-known candidates in August’s Democratic primary speak volumes," the board wrote.

3. Democrats for change

Ask Republican voters if they want "more of the same", while reminding them of how long GOP has been gouging everyone except the ultra-rich.

No more Greedy Old Putineers. Every day doesn't have to be a national crisis -- just elect people who can and will work for us instead of for Uihlein, Adelson, Kochs, Mercers, Hendriks, Scaife, and the rest of the background billionaires.
