Presidential candidate Wayne Messam vows to continue campaign despite missing national debate stage

Wayne Messam, the only Floridian seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, said Friday he’s continuing his campaign even though he missed the cut for the first pair of candidate debates, depriving him of valuable national exposure.

“I’m still encouraged and I still have an opportunity to qualify for the July debates and full steam ahead,” he said in a telephone interview from Las Vegas, where he’s been campaigning.

Messam, the mayor of Miramar, said he’s given no thought to dropping out of the campaign he launched on March 28. “Oh no. It’s still early.”

The first debates are June 26 and 27 in Miami — effectively Messam’s back yard — with 10 candidates on each night. Besides Messam, Gov. Steve Bullock of Montana, U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts and former U.S. Sen. Mike Gravel of Alaska didn’t qualify.
