Former Florida Chief Financial Officer, and 2010 Democratic candidate for Governor, Alex Sink today has endorsed Patricia Sigman for Senate District 9.
“Floridians deserve public servants who are dedicated to serving the public, not the special interests,” stated former Florida CFO Alex Sink. “I’m endorsing Patricia Sigman for Senate District 9 because I know she will always put the people over the powerful in Tallahassee.”
The endorsement of former CFO Alex Sink adds to the outpouring of support Patricia Sigman has received since launching her campaign in January, including raising over $115,000 in her first month as a candidate and receiving the endorsement of Ruth’s List Florida as she seeks to flip Senate District 9 blue this fall.
“I am incredibly grateful to receive the endorsement of former CFO Alex Sink,” declared Patricia Sigman. “Throughout her career, Alex has been a tireless advocate on behalf of working families in our state and has always fought to put the needs of the people first. I look forward to working with her as we continue to build our movement to unite for change in Tallahassee!”
An open seat due to term limits, State Senate District 9 encompasses all of Seminole County and a portion of western Volusia County. As the fastest changing red-to-blue State Senate district in Florida, Democratic performance increased at the top of the ticket by five points from the 2016 to 2018 election. Senate Victory sees this district as poised to flip and is committed to Patricia’s election in 2020.
