Tom Rooney Backs Jorge Bonilla to Challenge Alan Grayson

U.S. Rep. Tom Rooney, R-Fla., announced his support of Jorge Bonilla for the Republican nomination to challenge U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla., in November.

Jorge has proven to be a formidable candidate, with great knowledge and understanding of the pressing issues that our country is currently facing, including those issues that involve our veterans, Rooney said. Having served in the Marine Corps and U.S. Navy, Jorge knows how important service to country is. Now he wants to continue his service in the Congress. We would be lucky to have him.

Rep. Tom Rooneys congressional tenure is distinguished by his commitment to fiscal discipline, his work on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and his tireless advocacy for Florida agriculture, Bonilla said. I look forward to joining him in these efforts, and am humbled to receive his support.
