With less than a week to go in the Republican primary to replace former U.S. Rep. Trey Radel, R-Fla., in Congress, Florida Sen. Garrett Richter, R-Naples, went to bat for Florida Senate Majority Leader Lizbeth Benacquisto, R-Fort Myers, on Wednesday.

Praising her as a good friend, Richter painted Benacquisto as a dedicated conservative.

The Lizbeth I know is a person of integrity, a person of character and a person I trust, Richter insisted. Lizbeth is one of the most dedicated conservatives in the Florida Senate and works tirelessly for her constituents to get the job done. Isnt that the type of person we want to represent us in Washington? I hope that you will seriously consider supporting Lizbeth with your vote on April 22nd. Every vote is extremely important in this special primary.

Benacquisto takes on businessman Curt Clawson and former state Rep. Paige Kreegel in the Republican primary on Tuesday.
