Lizbeth Benacquisto Plays Up Crime Fighting in New Ad

Florida Senate Majority Leader Lizbeth Benacquisto, R-Fort Myers, played up her crime fighting credentials with the endorsement of the Florida Police Benevolent Association and a new TV ad.

As a mother, my greatest priority is protecting our states children, said Benacquisto on Tuesday. Working with Floridas law enforcement officers and childrens advocates, I am proud to say we have passed some of the toughest child predator laws in the nation and I am honored to have the PBAs endorsement.

Law Enforcement officers in Southwest Florida and across the state are better equipped and more prepared to protect our children from predators because of Lizbeth, said Matt Puckett, the executive director of the Florida Police Benevolent Association. Lizbeth shares our zero tolerance for the monsters who prey on our children and backs it up by fighting for the resources our officers need to protect our communities.

A new ad from Benacquisto will hit the airwaves on Wednesday.
