“Andrew is a proven fighter with the courage and determination to stand up for Florida families,” Obama said. “As governor, Andrew will expand access to affordable healthcare, protect Floridians with pre-existing conditions, invest in education, protect the environment and build an economy that works for all. Andrew believes that healthcare is a right, not a privilege, and he will make expanding Medicaid a priority on day one as governor.”
Gillum said he’s proud to have Obama’s support.
“He exemplifies true patriotism and characterizes the American values that both the country and Florida are striving to recapture,” Gillum said. “As governor, we’ll build on his legacy by making healthcare a right, not a privilege, investing in our children’s education, and protecting the environment for our future generation of Floridians.”
