Jeff Miller Endorses Mike Hill for HD 2

In news that won't come as a shock to anyone, U.S. Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., has endorsed Republican candidate Mike Hill of Pensacola in the Florida House District 2 special election.

"I'm proud to endorse Mike Hill in the special election on June 11 and urge all the voters of Florida House District 2 to support him," said Miller, whose congressional district includes the territory covered by HD 2 (parts of Escambia and Santa Rosa counties). "As a veteran, small-business owner, and devoted husband and father, Mike understands that we need more freedom to prosper, not more government. I am confident that Mike will be a strong champion for Northwest Florida. We need Mike Hill in the Florida House."

Hill is expected to cruise to an easy victory in the June 11 special election to replace the late Rep. Clay Ford, R-Gulf Breeze. His Democratic opponent is Jeremy Lau of Pensacola, president of theInternational Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, Local 2777.
