Mike Fasano Praises GOP Backing Rob Wallace for Senate

With Republicans choosing former Rep. Rob Wallace to take the place of Jim Norman on the ballot, Sen. Mike Fasano, R-New Port Richey, cheered the news. Norman was removed due to campaign-finance violations.

Rob Wallace is the perfect individual to step into the open Senate seat, said Fasano.During this controversial time, he is a seasoned individual whose calm demeanor and reasoned approach to governance will help unite a divided party. His record as a member of the Florida House demonstrates that he has the true conservative credentials needed during these challenging times.

As chairman of the Pasco County legislative delegation, I look forward to Rob Wallaces experienced contributions to our community, added Fasano, who serves as president pro tempore of the Senate. We were elected to the House at the same time and spent eight years working together.I have seen firsthand Rob Wallaces ability to stand up for his beliefs in a way that brought unity, not disunity. I look forward to working with him in the Florida Senate so that we can tackle the difficult issues that face our state.
