Jessica Ehrlich: Guys, I'm Still Here

All eyes focused on Alex Sink after she announced she would be running for former U.S. Rep. Bill Young's seat in Congress, but don't count Jessica Ehrlich out just yet. Ehrlich nabbed the support of the American Postal Workers Union on Wednesday, making the APWU the seventh union to show its support for the House representative hopeful.

The Suncoast Area Local of the American Postal Workers Union voted unanimously to endorse Jessica Ehrlich for Congress in Floridas 13th District, said Suncoast Area President Don Delgman in a statement released Wednesday. We will be proud to support Jessica in her quest to provide solid solutions for the everyday problems of Floridians.

Our postal workers are an important part of one of our greatest American institutions, Ehrlich said of the union. I am proud to stand with them as we continue to fight for the hard-working men and women of Pinellas County."

APWU represents more than 220,000 U.S. Postal Service employees and retirees, as well as nearly 2,000 mail workers working in the private sector, making it the world's largest postal union.

Gov. Rick Scott has not yet set a date for a special election to replace the late Rep. Bill Young, who passed away almost two weeks ago after being hospitalized with back problems. At the time of his death, Young was the longest serving Republican member of Congress.
