With presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump now trying to push absentee Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) into running for re-election to his U.S. Senate seat, I proudly endorse Alan Grayson, a progressive Democrat who is running for Senate in Florida.
As a U.S. Representative, Grayson has been a tough, effective progressive, using the amendment process to advance progressive ideals. Grayson has always told it like it is on the House floor, and he’ll tell it like it is on the Senate floor if elected.
Grayson’s Democratic primary opposition is Patrick Murphy, a Trump crony who was once the vice-president of a construction company that helped build two of Trump’s condo towers in Florida. Furthermore, Murphy is one of the least progressive Democrats in either house of Congress, repeatedly voting with the big-money special interests that are holding our country back. Patrick Murphy is simply too Trump for Florida Democrats.
While there are other Republicans currently running for Rubio’s Senate seat, let me make it clear that Rubio couldn’t win Florida in his failed presidential bid, and that Rubio almost never did his job as a U.S. Senator while running for president. Floridians can’t afford six more years of being represented by an absentee senator.
