Ted Yoho Endorses Ander Crenshaw Over Former Staffer

In the final days of the primary, U.S. Rep. Ander Crenshaw, R-Fla., announced on Thursday that two congressmen from neighboring districts endorsed him over Republican primary challenger former Navy Capt. Ryamn Shoaf. Even worse for Shoaf, one of those congressmen used to be his boss.

U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., and U.S. Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla., endorsed Crenshaw on Thursday. Shoaf had served on Yohos congressional staff.

"Ive spent the past 15 months investigating the IRS and Americans have demanded that Congress do something to hold the IRS accountable for its misconduct, DeSantis said. Ander Crenshaw has answered the peoples call. Using his subcommittee chairmanship on the Appropriations Committee, Ander authored a bill to rein in the IRS, protect taxpayers and safeguard the Constitution. This is a critical bill that attracted widespread conservative support. I am proud of every day I serve with and stand with Ander Crenshaw

Yoho stressed that Crenshaw was a fellow conservative.

Ander Crenshaw is a conservative with a capital C, Yoho said. Even more, hes a proven conservative who gets results for his Northeast Florida neighbors. He doesnt chase headlines he simply does the job hes been elected to do. No one works harder, and no ones done more, to advance our responsible agenda for America. Anders one of us he fights for us!

"I'm proud to stand together with Congressmen DeSantis and Yoho in a continued mission to protect the conservative values that individuals, families, and businesses hold dear, Crenshaw said. Across the board, Northeast Florida is well-served by both of them, and I look forward to working with them in the years ahead."
