Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco, the first sheriff to formally endorse Donalds, said, “Congressman Byron Donalds is the leader that Florida needs in this moment, as we work and stand with President Trump to implement the mandate he received from the American people and the citizens of our great state of Florida. I know Congressman Donalds will stand with law enforcement as we work to keep Florida safe and will be innovative in his ideas to create jobs, improve education and make our economy more competitive. Florida has been blessed to have a fantastic legacy of Governors with Governor Rick Scott and Governor Ron DeSantis. I know future Governor Byron Donalds will continue that legacy and he will keep making Florida great.”
Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey said, “As Sheriff I know first hand what it takes to keep our citizens and communities safe and that’s why I am endorsing Byron Donalds for Governor! Byron is a proven no-nonsense champion for law enforcement who will always put our citizens, our cops, and our constitution first! He is committed to being tough on crime and even tougher on criminals and will never tolerate woke policies that let criminals roam free! Under his leadership, criminals will be locked behind bars where they belong and those that came to our country illegally will continue to see that Florida has zero tolerance for those that can’t follow the laws of our great nation! For that reason and many more, Byron Donalds has earned the full support of President Donald Trump to lead Florida’s future and the endorsement of sheriffs across the state of Florida!”
“I am incredibly honored to have the support of sheriffs from across Florida. As Governor, I will be 100% committed to law and order and keeping Florida the safest state in the nation. I will stand in lockstep with our sheriffs and law enforcement as we work to protect Florida from criminal illegal aliens, keep drugs off our streets, and implement strong public safety laws to protect our families,” Byron Donalds said.
