This morning in Miami, Connie Mack picked up serious support for his US Senate campaign. Mack was endorsed by Miami’s GOP congressional delegation: Rep. David Rivera, Rep. Mario Diaz Balart, and Rep.Ileana Ros Lehtinen. Lincoln Diaz Balart also threw his support behind Mack.
Mack hopes to send Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Sleepy) into retirement this November. Today’s endorsements should guarantee Mack the support of Miami’s Cuban (and very Republican) community.
South Florida radio talk show host Joyce Kaufman has endorsed George LeMieux in the Florida US Senate race.
Ms. Kaufman, a strong supporter of Congressman Allen West, is a favorite of the South Florida tea party movement. Ms. Kaufman had been a supporter of Adam Hasner; He dropped out of Senate race to seek Congressman West’s current seat.
This endorsement comes as a bit of a surprise. LeMieux has never been a favorite of the tea parties in south Florida. So this definitely welcomed news for Team LeMieux.
