Huckabee, SBA List Running Calls for Lizbeth Benacquisto in CD 19

The Susan B. Anthony List (SBA List), a conservative group which opposes abortion, announced on Wednesday it will spend $50,000 in the next week to get out the vote for Florida Senate Majority Leader Lizbeth Benacquisto, R-Fort Myers, in the Republican primary to replace former U.S. Rep. Trey Radel, R-Fla., in Congress. Benacquisto takes on businessman Curt Clawson and former state Rep. Paige Kreegel in the primary on Tuesday.

SBA will be running robocalls to 45,000 voters in the district, from former Gov. Mike Huckabee, SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser and Penny Nance, the president of Concerned Women for America Political Action Committee.

The voters of Floridas 19th District are looking for an articulate and accomplished pro-life leader. State Senator Benacquisto has a record of fighting for the unborn and for women, said Dannenfelser on Wednesday. Lizbeth is one of many courageous women stepping up across the country to counter the deceptive war on women attacks of the left. We are flexing the political muscle of the pro-life movement to put resources behind these candidates who have already proven themselves as strong defenders of life.
