Shady PR Firm Salary – Rent payments from Gillum’s campaign are made to a PR firm that funnels the
cash right back to Gillum in the form of salary.
The PR firm is owned by Sharon Lettman-Hicks, a close confidante of Gillum.
According to Tallahassee Reports, Andrew Gillum’s 2014 campaign treasurer, Adam Corey,
was one of several investors who finagled their way into a real estate deal with the City of Tallahassee that
Gillum voted to approve. The investors bought the property from the city – which claims nobody else wanted – for $225,000,
then turned around and sold it three years later for
$525,000, more than doubling their money (129% profit).
As if that’s not enough already, Gillum also took a trip to Costa Rica, along with
Adam Corey and others, where he stayed a posh hotel. Gillum told the media and the Florida Commission on Ethics\
that he paid cash for the trip, and offered a $400 ATM cash withdrawal as “evidence” that he paid his own way. As POLITICO
noted in their coverage, Gillum’s records raised more questions than answers.
