A group of former staffers and associates of Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist are opting to endorse GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis over the onetime Republican as he vies for another term as governor in the Sunshine State.
In an open letter led by Crist’s former chief of staff George LeMieux, whom he appointed to the Senate, and signed by 36 Republicans previously associated with the Florida Democrat, the group argued DeSantis is the better choice.
“Together, we have known Charlie in virtually all phases of his career and public life. We are well-qualified to endorse in the Florida Governor's race because we have significant experience in public service to the state of Florida,” they wrote.
