Philip Levine making three Broward campaign stops Sunday

Philip Levine 3.22

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Philip Levine will be out and about in Broward County this afternoon.

The former Miami Beach mayor will show up at the Rally to Oppose Trump’s Family Separation Policy in Fort Lauderdale, an event co-organized by the Florida chapter of the Women’s March. The campaign said that at 3:15 p.m., Levine will “speak in solidarity with the majority of Americans who stand in opposition to President Trump’s barbaric policy of separating immigrant families.”

Other politicians listed as attending the event, held from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. in front of the U.S. Courthouse on Broward Boulevard, are Democratic U.S. Reps. Ted Deutch, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Frederica Wilson and state Sen. Gary Farmer.

After he speaks to the crowd at the rally, Levine will head to 1033 NW 6th Street, where his campaign is opening a regional office — their second in Broward County.

Supporters, volunteers and residents who show up to the 4 p.m. opening will hear Levine “share his bold, progressive vision to move the state forward” and “discuss the importance of Broward County in winning this election in August and November.”

At 5:30 p.m., Levine will head to the Chardees Lounge in Wilton Manors to speak at a meet-and-greet hosted by the Dolphin Democratic Club and Women’s March–Broward Chapter. The discussion will focus on “his plans to pass common-sense gun laws and enact strong anti-discrimination policies to make Florida one of the safest and most tolerant states in the nation.”

Levine, the former mayor of Miami Beach, is one of five major Democrats running for Governor in 2018. He faces Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, former Congresswoman Gwen Graham, Palm Beach billionaire Jeff Greene and  Orlando-area businessman Chris King in the Aug. 28 primary.

    Eddison Walters For U.S. Congress Mexican Border Policy: It Is time for The Trump Administration to punish Mexico for unfair trade and illegal immigration. We need to punish Mexico by placing tariffs on all Mexican products until Mexico agree to fair trade and an end to illegal immigrants pouring in across their boarded.
