Mike Huckabee Supports Steve Southerland

Former Gov. Mike Huckabee announced on Thursday that he was backing Republican congressional candidate Steve Southerland in North Florida. Huckabee, who moved to Florida earlier in the year, supported Southerland through Huck PAC, an organization he is using to back Republicans across the nation. Southerland is taking on Democratic U.S. Rep. Allen Boyd.

"Huck PAC and I are proud to support Steve Southerland for Congress from Floridas 2nd Congressional District, said Huckabee, who ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008 and might do so again in 2012. Steve is proud to call the Florida 2nd home, and will work hard to build a better future for all who live here. Steve is not a career politician, but has the experience necessary to make a great congressman.

Steve shares our conservative values, like the sanctity of life, traditional marriage, and the right to keep and bear arms, added Huckabee. Im proud to stand with Steve, and as a new resident of the Florida 2nd, Ill be thrilled to call him my new congressman.
