Florida House Speaker Steve Crisafulli, R-Merritt Island, threw his support behind Lt. Gov. Carlos  Lopez-Cantera for the Republican nomination to replace U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.   

"I am proud to endorse Carlos Lopez-Cantera for U.S. Senate,” Crisafulli said on Tuesday morning. “My choice in this important race is not based on politics, but on a desire to have authentic and effective representation in Washington. We need action, not more empty promises. Working with Carlos over the years, I have been able to see first-hand his focused leadership. Carlos has a fire and drive that is greatly needed in Washington.  I look forward to doing all I can to support his campaign.”
 
“As our campaign’s momentum continues, it is an honor to have the support of Speaker Crisafulli, a true Florida leader who I have had the pleasure to work with delivering tangible results for Floridians,” Lopez-Cantera said. “I look forward to continuing to work with Speaker Crisafulli throughout this campaign, and to serving as the next U.S. senator from Florida, who will deliver commonsense results, not empty rhetoric.”
