“On June 22, 2022, Gillum was indicted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Northern District of Florida on 21 felony counts” (Wikipedia)

I voted for Gillum in the Democratic Primary for Florida governor, but ended up not voting for him in the general election. In fact, in the primary, I voted for Gillum and only Gillum.

Because of the lobbyist scandal, (I think he let a lobbyist pay for part of his vacation), I changed my mind and voted for neither Democratic nor Republican candidate.

Later, after the election, he paid a $5,000 fine and pleaded guilty to an ethics charge. Although this seems political, I think we can do better.

“… Gillum released a statement declaring his innocence and calling the indictment “political” in nature.” 

But too many political types seem to think so.
