Endorsing Sheriffs Include Democrats, Republicans and Independents
| JACKSONVILLE, FLA. — A bipartisan group of 55 Sheriffs from across Florida endorsed Senator Marco Rubio’s re-election this morning at a press conference in Jacksonville. “I’m honored by this endorsement. This speaks to more than just politics, it speaks to the direction of our country,” Senator Rubio said at the press conference. “And I think this is a direction that is incredibly important and badly needed and that’s why I’m so grateful to be with all of them here today and I’m eternally grateful for your support. And you can continue to always count on mine.” “When you inject the spirit of lawlessness in a culture and in a society, you only embolden the lawless. And in the end, the men and women standing behind me, and the men and women that work for them, are the ones that have to respond to it in a very difficult job.” Photos and raw video footage will be available later today. The bipartisan group of Sheriffs that endorsed Senator Rubio includes: |
