Jeff Brandes Wins the Backing of the FMA

With Tuesday marking the end of primary season in Florida, focus now turns to the general election. That was clear on Wednesday morning as the Florida Medical Association PAC (FMA PAC) announced it was backing Florida Sen. Jeff Brandes, R-St. Petersburg, over Democrat Judithanne McLauchlan in what is expected to be one of the most competitive legislative races come November.

Sen. Jeff Brandes has stood up for common-sense legislation and for advancing innovation, said Dr. Ralph Nobo, the president of the FMA PAC, on Wednesday. The Florida Medical Association is pleased to support Sen. Brandes re-election efforts and looks forward to working with him to improve Floridas health care system.

As a member of the Health Policy Committee, innovating Florida's health care system has been a priority to me," Brandes said. "The Florida Medical Association has been a great resource, and I am honored to have their endorsement. I look forward to continuing to work with them to set Florida apart on the cutting edge of health care."
