TALLAHASSEE — Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum failed to disclose two mortgages on legally required financial disclosure forms going back to 2014, publicly available records show.
Gillum, who is a Democratic candidate for governor, said he would file amended financial disclosure reports after he was asked about the issue on Tuesday by POLITICO.
“Like the vast majority of people, Mayor Gillum owes a mortgage on his home, and we’re going to file the updated forms shortly,” said Geoff Burgan, a Gillum spokesman.
Burgan said that the mortgages were not disclosed because of an "accidental mistake."
Overall, Gillum failed to disclose two mortgages totaling $423,665, including one for his family‘s homein Tallahassee. State ethics laws require state officials to report any debts worth more than $10,000.
