George LeMieux Showcases Herman Cain's Endorsement

Over the weekend, businessman and former presidential candidate Herman Cain announced that he was backing former U.S. Sen. George LeMieux for the Republican nomination to challenge Democrat incumbent U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson.

The LeMieux team highlighted the backing from Cain, who won the Presidency 5 straw poll in Orlando back in September in a major upset.

I am honored to receive Herman Cains endorsement of my bid to return to the U.S. Senate, said LeMieux in a statement on Tuesday. Cain inspired the people of Florida with his showing at Presidency 5 and I am proud to have his support. This is further proof that our campaign is on the rise in Florida.
