Patronis becomes the 17th member of Florida’s congressional delegation to back Donalds’ bid for Florida Governor.
Naples, FL— Today, current Congressman and former Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis (R–Pensacola) endorsed President Trump’s choice for Florida Governor, Byron Donalds. Congressman Patronis joins President Trump, fifteen top Florida sheriffs, sixteen other members of Florida’s congressional delegation, 75% of the Republican caucus in the Florida House, U.S. House Leadership, and leading Florida and national conservatives in endorsing Donalds for Governor.
Congressman Patronis said of his endorsement: “I’m in full agreement with President Trump: Byron Donalds is THE guy to lead Florida as our next Governor. He’s an America First fighter with the backbone and conviction to protect our freedoms, defend law and order, and stand up for every hardworking Floridian. As our Governor, Byron will be laser-focused on making the state more affordable so that every Floridian has the opportunity to live the American Dream. I’m proud to call him a friend and to stand with President Trump in supporting Byron for Florida Governor.”
Congressman Patronis’ endorsement from the MAGA stronghold of Florida CD-1 follows Donalds’ endorsement from fellow Congressman Neal Dunn and 63 conservatives in the Florida House of Representatives earlier this week.
Donalds’ monster Q3 fundraising haul, high-profile endorsements, and polling showing him crushing current and potential Republican primary opponents and leading by wide margins against Democrat opponents, underscore Donalds’ unmatched momentum as he dominates in the race for Florida Governor.
