Bernie Sanders Endorsed by Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida

The Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida (DPCF) is backing U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., for the Democratic presidential nomination. 

Susan Smith, the president of the DPCF, praised Sanders on Monday. 

"Throughout his political career as well as his presidential campaign, Bernie Sanders has proven to be a bold progressive who is ready to fight for the values that DPCF members hold dear,” Smith said. “Like our membership, Bernie views the problems of income inequality, institutional racism and money in politics as structural issues that must be addressed for real change to occur.
 
“With today's endorsement, the DPCF is joining Bernie's political revolution by working to win the presidency as well as down-ballot races throughout Florida in 2016,” Smith added. “We are committed to running a 100 percent positive campaign in support of Bernie Sanders, and when the primary race is over, we will work our hardest to be sure that the Democratic nominee wins the White House in November."
