Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced his endorsement of Former Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer in his bid for the Republican nomination in Florida's Congressional District 14 seat this week.
".@ScottSingerUSA is a proven conservative. As Mayor of Boca Raton, he consistently fought to lower taxes, support small businesses, and stand strong behind law enforcement. We need solid leaders in Congress who will fight for the Free State of Florida, and he has my endorsement," Uthmeier wrote.
Attorney General Uthmeier's endorsement comes after support from Bay Harbor Islands Mayor Issac Salver, Bal Harbour Mayor Seth Salvar, Surfside Mayor Shlomo Danzinger, Golden Beach Mayor Glenn Singer, North Bay Village Vice Mayor Goran Cuk for Singer also this week in his CD 14 race.

District 25 runs from Palm Beach County to Miami Beach in Miami-Dade County in South Florida. Singer, who was mayor of Boca Raton from 2018 to 2026, announced his run for the seat in April.
Singer thanked Attorney General Uthmeier for his endorsement.
"Honored and truly humbled that our Attorney General, James Uthmeier, a great leader and fighter for justice has endorsed me for Congress," Singer wrote.
