Haridopolos Drops Out
July 18th, 2011 by flanewsFlorida Senate President Mike Haridopolos decided today he is not the GOP’s best chance to unseat US Senator Bill Nelson. Haridopolos posted a video message to his website today announcing his departure from the race. Haridopolos told his supporters his plate was full with leading the state senate… too full to properly campaign for the US Senate.
“Today I’m announcing that I will no longer be a candidate for the US Senate nor will I seek any office this year or the next. Instead I am rededicating myself to finish the job you sent me here to do in Florida,” announced Haridopolos.
There are still a lot of GOP contenders looking to unseat Nelson. The most recent entry into the race is former Ruth’s Chris CEO Craig Miller.
