Welcome to

Lakeland Congressman Adam Putnam is running commercials touting solar energy in his bid to become the state’s next Agriculture Commissioner. But democratic opponent Scott Maddox says Putnam’s record is anything but green. “Congressman Putnam runs commercials for his election to congress saying its so simple even a child would know that we need to have renewable energy, wind and solar, and other technology. Goes to Congress, votes against wind and solar technology, including voting against voting against allowing the solar program in the state of Florida. The republican legislature holds up the solar funding in the state of Florida, then Congressman Putnam, Republican candidate for Agriculture Commissioner and Consumer Services runs another ad saying he is for solar energy. Only in Washington do you see that type of stunning hypocrisy, says Maddox.

Maddox trails Putnam in fundraising for the cabinet office.
