, mayor of Miramar, Florida, said a lawyer is reviewing allegations that his campaign staff isn't getting paid., come from a former staffer of the campaign. The New Times report says a campaign team member sent an email to staff with the subject line "Notification of hold on paychecks," which blamed the failure to disburse checks on Messam's wife, Angela.
"I have legal counsel that's looking into those allegations," he added. "All of that will be investigated, and in terms of any legitimate claims, [we plan] to have those resolved." Messam said he is unaware of any written resignations for campaign staff members. He touted that nearly three-quarters of his staff are women and said his staff will “look like America.”
The reason for the campaign's low fundraising totals, Messam said, was because he announced his 2020 bid on March 28, just a few days before FEC mandatory filings.
