FORMER DUVAL COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD CHAIR NANCY BRONER ENDORSES MIKE WEINSTEIN FOR STATE SENATE

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Nancy Broner, former Chair of the Duval County School Board, today endorsed Representative Mike Weinstein for the State Senate. Broner cites Weinstein’s understanding that teachers, parents and school boards here in the district know best how to educate our children and not Tallahassee bureaucrats as some of the reasons that she supports him.

“Mike understands that teachers, parents and school boards here in the district know best how to educate our children and not Tallahassee bureaucrats. He knows the importance of home rule and I know that we can count on him as we work together to ensure that our children have access to the best education possible,” said Broner.

“I am thankful for the support from Chairwoman Broner I look forward to continuing working with her as we ensure that our parents and their children have the best schools possible,” said Weinstein.

Weinstein presently is a State Representative running for the newly redrawn Senate District 4.

He currently serves as a prosecutor and the Executive Director for State Attorney Angela Corey’s office. Weinstein continues to build momentum as community leaders and organizations from inside the district are lining up to support him such as the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce, Northeast Florida Builders Association, Associated Industries of Florida, Jacksonville Association of Firefighters, Nassau County Firefighters, Jacksonville Fire Chiefs, Jacksonville City Council President Bill Bishop, Jacksonville City Councilman Stephen Joost, Duval County Property Appraiser Jim Overton, Jacksonville City Councilman Matt Schellenberg, Jacksonville City Councilman Doyle Carter, Jacksonville City Councilman Don Redman, Jacksonville City Councilman Clay Yarborough, Jacksonville Beach Mayor Fland Sharp, Atlantic Beach Mayor Mike Borno, the North Florida Hispanic Leadership Alliance, former City Council President Henry Cook, Jacksonville Beach City Councilman Lee Buck, Jacksonville Beach City Councilman Steve Hartkemeyer, Jacksonville Beach City Councilman Jeanell Wilson, Jacksonville Beach City Councilman Rick Knight, Atlantic Beach City Commissioner Jonathan Daugherty, Jacksonville community leader Wyman Duggan, Jacksonville Jaguars original owner Wayne Weaver, Jacksonville business and political leader Tom Petway, First Coast Tea Party Co-Founder Billie Tucker, Florida Tea Party Leader Patricia Sullivan, State Representative Charles Van Zant, State Representative Larry Metz, Jacksonville community leader Mike Hogan, former Jacksonville International Business Director George Banks and Governor Rick Scott’s Campaign Manager Susie Wiles.
