Welcome to

It has been 20 years since Florida’s Police Benevolent Association and the Fraternal Order of Police have endorsed a Democrat for Governor, but Alex Sink and running mate Rod Smith got the nod today from the two organizations. PBA Executive Director David Murrell says Rick Scott, the republican in the race, has wild ideas to cut prison expenses in half. “She believes in putting money into basic services. and she doesn’t believe in all this wild cutting and radical ideas Rick Scott has. For example, cutting the prison system by about 50%. there’s no way you can avoid early release of dangerous inmates. He’s just got some really far out ideas and she’s a common sense business woman, successful businesswoman, who will make sure services are there that people want,” says Murrell.

FOP President James Preston echoed the same sentiment. “ We first met her four years ago when she was running for CFO, and it was clear to me she is not a typical politician. She’s a business person, She has common sense, and just a sense of duty and integrity I thing she is going to fulfill in the office of Governor.

In addition to money, the endorsements usually bring significant labor resources to help the campaign.
