Five More State Legislators Back George LeMieux for Senate

On Thursday, former U.S. Sen. George LeMieux announced that five state House members were backing his bid for the Republican nomination to challenge Democrat incumbent U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson in 2012. The five representatives are Chris Dorworth of Heathrow, Bill Hager of Boca Raton, Scott Plakon of Longwood, Ray Pilon of Sarasota and Ritch Workman of Melbourne. This brings LeMieuxs total number of endorsements from legislators up to 21.

Our campaign continues to gain tremendous support from across the state, said LeMieux. It is an honor to receive endorsements from strong legislators. These representatives know the hurdles everyday Floridians face and I am humbled they put their trust in me to get America back on track.
