TAMPA – U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders will campaign with Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum in Tampa and Orlando this week.

Gillum, whose campaign says he is Florida’s most viably progressive gubernatorial candidate in history, is running on a platform that includes Medicare for all, repealing stand your ground, banning assault weapons, legalizing marijuana, and a $15 minimum wage.

The Gillum-Sanders Tampa rally is scheduled for 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Friday (Aug. 17) at the Armature Works – Gathering Room, 1910 N Ola Ave. Doors open at 10 a.m.
