We’ve observed the political landscape become increasingly divisive in America since the 2016 presidential election, and as we head to the polls on Nov. 6 to elect a new governor and other pertinent elected officials, (mid-term) the African American community must galvanize like never and elect Andrew Gillum as the next governor.

While some of his staunchest critics have tried to depict him as a flaming liberal and anti-Israel, Gallium’s platform includes:  sensible gun control measures,  Medicare for all, with the expansion of Medicaid; additional funding for education— with an increase in teacher’s salaries across the board as a priority; has pledged to promote other energy sources; and will lobby for the minimum wage to be increased to $15 per hour.

Gillum’s chance of pushing these issues through would appear to be an impossible task with a Republican-controlled legislature, but let’s not forget sometimes the will can be strong, and the fight can be won.  The time has come for Florida to move forward
