TALLAHASSEE – Florida Democratic Party Chair Karen Thurman issued the following statement in support of Kendrick Meek:
“This is a great day for Florida Democrats and for our candidate Kendrick Meek. We need a fighter in the U.S. Senate, a hands-on leader who will work hard everyday to bring home new, long-term jobs that can help our economy rebound.
Kendrick has remained focused on the people of this state, never getting distracted by the petty bickering and political backbiting consuming Governor Crist, Speaker Rubio, and the Republican Party of Florida. Everyday through hard work, Kendrick is earning the respect and admiration of Floridians for his commitment to turning our state around. Kendrick Meek working alongside Bill Nelson makes for an unbeatable combination and Floridians will be represented by two of the best in the U.S. Senate.”
