Bernie Sanders has endorsed Florida gubernatorial hopeful Andrew Gillum four weeks before the contested Democratic primary in the state. 

In a tweet, Sanders wrote "As governor, @AndrewGillum will work to provide health care for all through a Medicare-for-All program, raise the minimum wage, invest in sustainable energy, improve education, make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share of taxes, and be welcoming to immigrants."

Gillum has led the charge knocking his opponents — specifically frontrunner Gwen Graham — for not being liberal enough in their policy prescriptions and past political votes.

In a statement, Gillum said Sanders "has been an unapologetic fighter for everyday working people standing up to the special interests. From Medicare-for-All, to a $15 minimum wage, his ideas and platform have become the Democratic Party’s north star on economic justice for those who need it most."

This primary is on August 28th, so Sanders’ endorsement comes right as candidates begin the sprint to the finish. A Mason-Dixon poll had Gillum in fourth place with 10 percent. Graham (27 percent), Philip Levine (18 percent), Jeff Greene (12 percent), and Chris King (7 percent) rounded out the full pack.
