TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA — Twenty-one state legislators across ten states announced today that they are endorsing Governor Ron DeSantis for president.
After his appearance at the Republican debate on Wednesday, officials from Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Tennessee, Texas and Tennessee joined hundreds of others nationwide in support of DeSantis.
“Hard-working Americans are getting hammered by Joe Biden’s radical policies and rising prices,” said Tennessee State Representative Gino Bulso. “We need a president who understands how to rebuild the American Dream and fight for the middle class. Ron DeSantis has the vision, experience, and energy to reverse our economy’s decline and make life affordable for working families.”
California Assemblyman Joe Patterson said DeSantis is the “conservative warrior” who can reverse our nation’s decline and revive America. “As a resident of Gavin Newsom’s California, I know too well the ruinous costs of progressive lunacy. Only Ron DeSantis can restore sanity,” Patterson said.
“As a mom and Illinois state senator, I am concerned about what our children are being taught in the classroom and what kind of country they will inherit,” said Illinois State Senate Deputy Republican Leader Sue Rezin. “Ron DeSantis is the only candidate who can be trusted to fight for my family the same way he fights for his and I am proud to endorse him for president.”
