Punta Gorda, FL - Today, 25-year litigator, public servant and former Republican candidate for Florida Attorney General Steven Leskovich announced his endorsement of José Javier Rodríguez in the race for Florida Attorney General.
Leskovich, a longtime Florida attorney, former prosecutor and trial lawyer, cited Rodríguez's legal experience, commitment to the rule of law, and qualifications to serve as Florida's Attorney General.
"As a life-long Republican and as a former Republican candidate for Florida Attorney General, I can only support a candidate that truly understands the rule of law, truly understands law and order, truly understands separation of powers, truly understands how to protect all Floridians, and has actual courtroom experience," said Steven Leskovich. "There is only one candidate that meets these requirements. As a result, I am endorsing Jose Javier Rodriguez for Florida Attorney General."
Rodríguez, a 20-year trial attorney, workers' rights attorney, former state senator, and former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Labor, is running to restore the Attorney General's office as an advocate for Floridians focused on tackling crime, costs and corruption.
"I am honored to have Steve Leskovich's support," said José Javier Rodríguez. "Steve has dedicated his career to the law and to public service and I appreciate his confidence in our campaign. People of principle, regardless of party, agree that Floridians need an Attorney General tied to the Constitution, guided by ethics and committed to serving all Floridians. That's the kind of leadership I will bring as Attorney General and why I’m honored to have Steve’s support."
