Amendment 5 on the Florida ballot would make tax increases dependent on a 2/3 majority of the vote. The demonrats are already airing ads opposing the amendment and Gillum has released a statement opposing it. Wonder why?
Gillum is a big gun-grabbing proponen too.
~proponent
Hes a really unusual candidate, Steyer said five days before the primary as he, liberal financier George Soros and other donors pumped $650,000 more into the effort to support Gillum.
Steyer told The New York Times, which first reported the new commitment on Tuesday, that he liked Gillum because hes a fierce gun control person, hes been a climate champion ... Hes called for the impeachment of the president. Hes been willing to talk plainly to Florida voters, and theyve responded.
...During the primary, Steyer directly contributed $800,000 to Gillum. Steyer spent an additional $600,000 on a get-out-the-vote field campaign and online advertising for the Democrat, targeting young and minority voters through his NextGen group.
For this round of contributions, Steyer is spending $750,000 more on a field campaign, $800,000 more on mail, about $2.5 million more on digital ads and an additional $1 million for a union-tied group called For Our Future.
