Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, one of Florida’s most respected law-and-order leaders, has endorsed Byron Donalds for Florida Governor. Sheriff Judd joins President Trump, 27 other top Florida sheriffs, Elon Musk, U.S. House Leadership, 17 members of Florida’s congressional delegation, 75% of the Republican caucus in the Florida House, and other leading national conservatives in endorsing Byron for Governor.
Sheriff Judd said of his endorsement: “It’s my honor to energetically support Byron Donalds to be our Governor because he boldly supports law enforcement and holding criminals accountable. He steadfastly believes that the public’s safety comes first. He stands in full support of Florida’s truth in sentencing law, supports minimum mandatory sentencing, and opposes early-release parole. Byron totally understands that keeping citizens and visitors safe must be government’s top priority. He is Florida’s best choice for Governor.”
Byron Donalds said of Sheriff Grady Judd’s endorsement: “I’m honored to have the endorsement of Sheriff Grady Judd, a nationally respected sheriff who has spent his career putting public safety first. Sheriff Judd knows I am the law-and-order candidate in this race, committed to backing the blue, enforcing the law, and keeping Florida families safe. As Governor, there will be no confusion about where I stand: those who break the law will be behind bars, and public safety will always come first.”
Sheriff Grady Judd’s endorsement follows Byron’s monster Q4 fundraising haul, high-profile endorsements, and polling showing him crushing Republican primary opponents and leading by wide margins against Democrat opponents. This shows Byron’s unmatched momentum as he dominates in the race for Florida Governor.
