Florida campaigns are embracing high tech and none more than Republican Adam Putnam, who is running for agriculture commissioner. Known for his frequent Facebook posts, twittering and Skype interviews from the campaign trail, Putnam is now launching an iPhone app called iPutnam.
See the details below.
Press release:
Adam Putnam...There’s an App for That
iPhone
apps are no longer just for paying bills and ordering pizza.
“I
am excited to announce the launch of iPutnam, an iPhone application
that will allow me to stay connected with you throughout the course of
the campaign, keeping you updated on where we are and what we are doing,
all through your mobile device,” Adam Putnam said.
As the first
candidate in Florida history to utilize this kind of technology, the app
will be used to inform and engage the public in the new age of
agriculture and policy.
“I am a different kind of candidate,
running a different kind of campaign, and I hope this newest campaign
tool will help you understand our commitment to operating the most
efficient and advanced Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services,”
Putnam stated.
iPutnam will be utilized to send out alerts,
photos and videos to keep you updated on breaking news or even
last-minute changes to the campaign schedule. The application will allow
voters to sign-up to volunteer, receive yard signs, e-mail friends and
make contributions. As the campaign continues, more features will be
added to include voters in every step of the journey toward Election
Day.
“Since day one, we have led an innovative campaign. We know
the launch of iPutnam will help us stay connected to voters and allow
us to work effectively on behalf of all Floridians,” Putnam said.

Wow what a waste of campaign $$$.
Will the app update how much $$$ he is receiving from pro off shore oil lobbyists?
Can someone explain to me how a Republican can honestly represent the interests of Floridians as a Consumer Advocate? Ridiculous.
Scott Maddox is a WAAAAY better candidate.

This guy is hogtied to offshore drilling and should be on the beach cleaning tar balls.

This won't help Putnam get any votes... while Scott Maddox stands up for consumers, Adam Putnam continues to show he is out of touch.
