Stanley Campbell (D) Endorsed By 29 Current And Former Elected Leaders In US Senate Race
MIAMI, Fla. (FNN) – In April, US Senate Candidate Stanley Campbell (D) campaign announced in a press release the endorsements of 29 prominent leaders from across the state of Florida.
Here’s The Full Press Release:
In a show of unity and support, Stanley Campbell, a distinguished candidate for the U.S. Senate from Miami, Florida, has received endorsements from a coalition of influential elected leaders from across the state. This collective endorsement underscores Campbell’s deep-rooted connection to these communities and his commitment to represent the interests and aspirations of all residents at the national level.
“We’re not running the typical political campaign that’s about dialing for dollars first and talking to voters last. We spent the last quarter of 2023 laser focused on touring the state and talking directly with diverse groups of constituents about the issues that matter most to them. We then used the first quarter of 2024 to include in-depth conversations with their elected leaders about proposed solutions. We are building momentum from the ground up and community by community because the only folks I will be beholden to are the residents of this great state,” Mr. Campbell declared.
Endorsing leaders from Broward include Mayor Wayne Messam, Mayor Sam Borgelin, Vice Mayors Darrell Lewis-Ricketts and Mark Spence, City and County Commissioners Vice Mayor Alexandra Davis, Maxwell Chambers, Dr. Katrina Touchstone, Joy Smith, Anthony Caggiano, Hazelle Rodgers, Jacqueline Guzman, Mark Douglas and Sarai Rae Martin. Also endorsing from Broward are former House Representative Gwendolyn Clarke-Reed, Mayor Dale Holness, former Commissioners Richard Campbell, Vice Mayor Mike Gelin, Edward Phillips, and Anthony Sanders.
Additionally, Councilman Douglas Lawson, Councilwoman Katrina Long Robinson, School Board member Edwin Ferguson and former Commissioner Richard Ryles of Palm Beach County endorsed, as did formers Orange County Commissioner Victoria Siplin and Senator Gary Siplin of Orlando, and former Senator Tony Hill, Councilman Reggie Gaffney, Jr. and former Councilmen Dr. Johnny and Reggie Gaffney of Jacksonville.
Each of these elected officials is a respected figure within their own right, known for their dedication to the welfare and advancement of Jacksonville’s communities. Senator Hill, in expressing his support, stated, “I support Campbell because in Duval, we’re overlooked by the Party. His military background, work with NASA as a FAMU student, and his innovative efforts to stop $150 million in Medicare fraud penalties daily highlight his commitment to this state and our communities. As someone who has lived in six different parts of the state, he speaks directly to our communities, embodying the leadership we need to uplift our own.”
Stanley Campbell’s campaign has been marked by a focus on integrity, innovation, and inclusivity, drawing on his extensive background in the military, healthcare and security IT, and his work in combating Medicare fraud. His platform prioritizes healthcare, economic development, education and justice reform, aiming to address the critical issues facing many Floridians today.
The endorsements from these 29 leaders follow his recently announced endorsement from Congresswoman Donna Christensen. They not only represent a significant momentum boost for Campbell’s campaign but also signal a growing consensus among elected leaders about the need for new, experienced and dynamic representation in the U.S. Senate.
Campbell expressed his gratitude for the endorsements, saying, “I am deeply honored to receive the support of such esteemed leaders. Together, we stand united in our commitment to bring real change to Florida and to ensure that all voices are heard loud and clear in Washington.”
