Former Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink endorsed former Gov. Charlie Crist for Congress Wednesday.

"Everyone knows how dysfunctional Washington is right now, only listening to themselves and fighting meaningless partisan battles," Sink said in a statement. "We need someone who will give a voice to the people and push out the special interests, and Charlie Crist will do that."

On Tuesday, Crist officially announced he would be running for CD 13, a seat expected to cover most of Pinellas County.

"Charlie has fought for Democratic values, like expanding affordable healthcare coverage and restoring civil rights to nonviolent ex-felons," Sink said. "I know he'll make sure the voices of Pinellas County will be heard in the halls of Congress."

In 2014, Sink faced off against David Jolly for the CD13 seat, but lost. But now that the district is set to be redrawn to be more favorable to the Democratic Party, Crist has a fighting chance at making a comeback in politics.
