Miami Herald endorses Gillum for governor
By Emily Birnbaum - 10/21/18 02:16 PM EDT
The Miami Herald editorial board on Sunday endorsed Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum for governor over his Republican opponent, former Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.).
The newspaper's editorial board wrote Floridians can only expect "more of the same" if they vote for DeSantis.
The two are facing off to replace term-limited Gov. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), who is now running for senator.
"The tenacity, political smarts and commitment to public service that propelled this Tallahassee mayor to victory from the bottom of the pack of better-known candidates in August’s Democratic primary speak volumes," the board wrote.
The Herald's endorsement comes after the paper endorsed Democrat Philip Levine over Gillum during the Democratic primary.
