JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – State Representative Larry Metz today endorsed Representative Mike Weinstein for the State Senate. Representative Metz cites Weinstein’s commitment to protecting our American way of life, promoting conservative policies of limited government and working with Governor Rick Scott to create jobs as reasons for his support.

“I am proud to endorse my friend and colleague Mike Weinstein for his campaign for State Senate. We have worked together to protect our American way of life and as a fellow original member of the Florida House Tea Party Caucus, I know we will have in Mike a Senator that will protect the taxpayers’ hard earned money, that will work with Governor Rick Scott to create jobs and will work to make certain our government lives within its means.” says Metz.
