Correct.

Our Mayoral elections are "nonpartisan," which has been a bit of a joke. Dyer was given thousands of dollars by the State Democrat party and flat out ran a smear campaign against Mulvaney this year. He also used the same tactics when he first ran for Mayor and I believe State Prosecutor.

Buddy Dyer ran for (and lost) State Attorney General in 2002 against Republican Charlie Crist. Dyer ran a dirty campaign and Charlie gave as good as he got.

"One ad by the Dyer campaign, for example, ended with a punch: 'Charlie Crist: unqualified, unethical, incompetent. Are these really the qualities we want in our next attorney general?'"   ...   "He fired back with a commercial accusing Dyer of excluding mammograms from HMO coverage, making it easier for criminals to sue from prison and, while a state senator, helping out a client of his law firm with a bill.
