Gubernatorial candidate Paul Renner is getting support for his run from his local State Attorney.
Renner, a former House Speaker and lawyer from Palm Coast, is announcing an endorsement from fellow Republican R.J. Larizza of the 7th Judicial Circuit.
“I am deeply honored to receive the endorsement of State Attorney R.J. Larizza. For years, R.J. has worked tirelessly to protect the people of Flagler, Putnam, St. Johns, and Volusia counties, standing shoulder to shoulder with law enforcement and fighting for victims of crime. His trust and support mean a great deal to me,” Renner said.
“As Governor, I will continue working to ensure Florida remains the safest state in the nation — where the rule of law is respected, law enforcement is highly revered and families can thrive.”
Renner has focused heavily on criminal justice ideas throughout his campaign, and Larizza said those plans appeal to him.
“Paul has put forward serious, substantive proposals to end human trafficking, speed up the death row appeals process, and improve accountability across the criminal justice system. These are thoughtful, results-driven policies that reflect both experience and resolve,” Larizza said.
“Florida needs a governor who respects the law, supports those who enforce it, and is willing to take decisive action to keep our state safe. Paul Renner is that leader, and he will make an excellent Governor.”
