Gus Bilirakis Backs Wilton Simpson for State Senate

U.S. Rep. Gus Bilirakis, R-Fla., announced on Thursday that he was endorsing Wilton Simpson for a seat in the Florida Senate. Simpson, a businessman based in Dade City, is running to represent parts of Hernando, Pasco and Sumter counties.

I am proud to support Wilton Simpsons bid for the state Senate, said Bilirakis. So many people are hurting and looking for jobs that just arent available. I know Wilton will work hard to bring about real economic growth and make sure Florida has the best job opportunities in the country.

I am very honored to have the support of Congressman Bilirakis, said Simpson who, with barely a week to go until filing closes, has yet to draw any opposition. We share a vision of keeping government out of the way of small businesses. We should be encouraging and cultivating the entrepreneurial spirit in all Americans.
