Former Democratic Attorney General nominee Sean Shaw has today endorsed Patricia Sigman for Senate District 9.
“Whether it is advocating for consumers, taking on the gun lobby, or cleaning up corruption, Floridians deserve elected leaders with a track record of always doing what’s right,” stated former Democratic Attorney General nominee Sean Shaw. “I’m endorsing Patricia Sigman for Senate District 9 because she is the fighter we need to stand on our side against the powerful special interests.”
Sean Shaw’s endorsement adds to the overwhelming support Patricia Sigman has received since announcing her candidacy for Senate District 9, including raising over $115,000 in her first month on the trail, the endorsement of Senate Democratic Leader Designate Gary Farmer and the support of Senate Victory, and the endorsements of former Congresswoman Gwen Graham, former Florida CFO Alex Sink, and Ruth’s List Florida.
“When it comes to putting the needs of working Floridians ahead of the powerful, there is no greater champion than Sean Shaw,” declared Patricia Sigman. “Sean’s endorsement is further validation that our fight to end the grip of special interests in Tallahassee, give the people back their voice in their government, and ensure a state that is fair and just for every Floridian continues to grow into a movement that will turn District 9 blue this fall!”
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.
