Former state CFO Alex Sink announced on Wednesday that she was backing former Gov. Charlie Crist for Congress.

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

“Charlie has fought for Democratic values, like expanding affordable healthcare coverage and restoring civil rights to nonviolent ex-felons. I know he'll make sure the voices of Pinellas County will be heard in the halls of Congress,” Sink added. “I'm proud to say I worked on the Florida Cabinet with Charlie for four years, and I know firsthand he is the right choice for the 13th District.”

Crist, who had been a Republican when he served with Democrat Sink in the Cabinet, launched his bid for the seat on Tuesday. Sink ran for the congressional seat last year but came up short against Republican David Jolly.
