Ellyn Bogdanoff Gets the Support of the FMA

The Florida Medical Association PAC (FMA PAC) announced on Monday it was backing former state Sen. Ellyn Bogdanoffs bid to return to Tallahassee.

Former state Rep. and state Sen. Ellyn Bogdanoff has proven time and time again her strong support of the issues and initiatives backed by the Florida Medical Association, said Dr. Ralph Nobo, the resident of the FMA PAC. She is a friend of medicine and we are thrilled to support her candidacy and look forward to having her back in Tallahassee.

Its an honor and privilege to have received the support of physicians throughout the state of Florida, said Bogdanoff. I believe it is imperative that doctors remain in charge of patient care, and I will always support policies that place the patients health above all else.

Bogdanoff is running for the Republican nomination to face Sen. Maria Sachs, D-Delray Beach, and shell face businessman and philanthropist Joseph JB Bensmihen in the primary. If she wins, Bogdanoff is expected to support Clearwater Republican Sen. Jack Latvala's Senate presidential ambitions. Sachs beat Bogdanoff 53 percent to 47 percent in 2012.
