Dr. Leo Valentín, a Republican vying for Florida’s 7th congressional district seat, has received support from constituents in the sunshine state, but now it seems that his campaign is also reaching outside the state as well.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz (R) announced today that he was formally endorsing the Dr. in his congressional bid, saying that “we need Dr. Leo Valentín in Congress!” while also calling for Floridians to support him as well.
In response, the Dr. thanked for Texas lawmaker, adding that “he’s a proven conservative leader who understands the work we have to do to fight for the principles this country was founded on.” He also expressed that he is looking “forward to joining Senator Cruz in Washington to stand up for the issues we both care so much about – promoting local economies, strengthening our communities, making quality health care affordable, and protecting hard-working families from an overbearing government.”
Valentin's congressional primary race is on August 18th.
