Putnam, Atwater Near $2M In Contributions

June 12, 2014

Though they appear to face little opposition, Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam and state Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater continued to pile up campaign cash in May, which each nearing $2 million in total contributions, newly filed records show.

Putnam raised $186,295 during the month, bringing his overall total to $1,964,604. Atwater collected $164,500 in May and reported an overall total of $1,899,354.

Updated campaign-finance figures had not been posted online early Tuesday evening for Thad Hamilton, a Democrat running for agriculture commissioner. But Hamilton had raised $12,163 through April. Similarly, William Rankin, a Democrat running for chief financial officer, had raised $8,105 through April.

    Comissioner Putnam, I will not be voting for you if you continue to stand in the way of medical marijuana for our state. However, I do not think smoking anything is good medicine, fortunately marijuana can be vaporized or eatten as real medicine. So why don’t you do some real good and work with Mr. Morgan from Tampa to get this medicine for our people instead of just a blanket no on the issue.
