Bob Buckhorn is heading to New Hampshire to campaign for Hillary Clinton this weekend.
The Tampa mayor has been a stalwart in the Clinton Army going back to the 1990s, when he chaired Bill’s 1996 re-election campaign in Hillsborough County.
Buckhorn was also was a charter member of the Democratic Leadership Conference (DLC), the centrist-oriented Democratic group that reached the height of its influence in the early 1990s, when Bill Clinton was elected president.
“Once I read her plan, I decided that Hillary Clinton is the only candidate who has what it takes to stand up to the Republicans and put our future on firmer footing,” Buckhorn wrote in an op-ed that ran in The Tampa Tribune last month. He specifically praised her for her proposed five-year $275 billion infrastructure program.
“I believe that Hillary Clinton has the plan, the experience, and the backbone to stand up for great American cities like ours,” he concluded the piece.
Another Florida mayor, Miami Beach’s Phillip Levine, will also be in New Hampshire to stump for the former first lady this weekend as well.

Levine supported Marco Rubio way back when with money over the democrat Charlie Crist. He is a wall street republican who supports Clinton. Go figure. He will support the Republican nonmiee if Hillary doesn’t get it. Democrats have a fighting chance this time around if Sanders is the nominee. Trudeau, similar to Sanders, just was elected in Canada. That doesn’t mean free starsux for all. Levine is a whiner and people like him supporting Hillary are half the reason so many people can’t stand the Clintons. GO SANDERS! If hillary is the nominee, Trump will win.
