"I am honored that so many Republican activists and opinion leaders are responding to my conservative message. It is a testament to the hard work of friends and volunteers that we have such strong grassroots support. We were also honored to be the first to qualify by petition," said Greg Steube.
"Many leaders throughout Florida have demonstrated that the power of grassroots supporters is essential in a campaign in this State. I am pleased to be the overwhelming choice of these opinion leaders, along with the party's other conservative leaders, such as Marco Rubio, Adam Putnam, and Dennis Ross," noted Greg Steube.
Greg Steube has attracted a team of the top advisers and supporters in the area, including State Representative Ron Reagan, the incumbent Representative, who has endorsed Steube's candidacy to replace him. In addition, Congressman Vern Buchanan, State Senator Michael Bennett, State Representative Bill Galvano, former Senators Pat Neal and John McKay, Hillsborough County Sheriff David Gee, Sarasota County Sheriff Tom Knight, Manatee County Sheriff Brad Steube, and former Manatee County Sheriff Charlie Wells, Public Defender Larry Eger, County Commissioner Donna Hayes, Bradenton City Mayor Wayne Poston, and many more have all endorsed Steube's candidacy and agreed to be part of his team.
