This morning, John Stemberger, a leading Conservative Christian activist in Florida announced his endorsement of Dan Quiggle for the open Senate seat vacated by long time Senator Jim King.
Stemberger, best know for his leadership in passing the Florida Marriage Protection Amendment released this statement:
“I am very proud to endorse Dan Quiggle for State Senate District 8. Dan is a dynamic leader and represents the future of the Republican Party in Florida. Dan Quiggle is the only principled social conservative in this race that I know and trust and I give him my unqualified endorsement. Dan also was the only candidate in this race that took a leadership role in helping to pass the Florida Marriage Protection Amendment by holding a fundraiser in his home.
Even though I consider Dan a friend, I was going to stay out the race. But when I learned that Dan’s opponent John Thrasher took money from the gambling industry; that he personally lobbies for gaming interests and that his campaign spokesperson works for the gambling industry, that was enough for me to come out and publicly declare Dan Quiggle as the clear choice for conservative pro-family republicans.”
