Would Andrew Gillum Make a Worse Governor Than Mayor?

Boy, that would be hard.

The FBI recently cleared Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum of suspicion over an email scandal which has dogged the politician’s gubernatorial campaign.

Unfortunately for Gillum, no one could ever clear him of his awful record.

As mayor, Gillum has managed to come up with some solid reasons for why he shouldn’t be elected dog-catcher, let alone Governor of the State of Florida.

Under his mayorship, Tallahassee ranked as the most dangerous city in Florida.

One would imagine the state capital, where the Governor lives and the Legislature meets, would be ones of the safest places in Florida.

Under Gillum’s watch, that has proven to be false.

The fact is, Tallahassee has the highest crime rates per capita of any other city in Florida. For every 100,000 residents, 767 were victims of violent crimes in 2015 – Gillum’s first full year in office.

That’s hardly a comforting thought for the tens of thousands of parents who send their kids to Tallahassee each year for college.

He placed partisan politics over the well-being of his citizens.

After thousands of the city’s residents were left without power in the wake of Hurricane Hermine, Gillum let politics stand in the way of help.
