The four sheriffs of Florida’s 1st Congressional District – representing Escambia, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa, and Walton Counties – have all endorsed Congressman Jimmy Patronis for re-election in Florida’s 1st Congressional District. Patronis, a proven conservative fighter born and raised in Northwest Florida, is the only Trump-endorsed candidate in the race.
Okaloosa County Sheriff Eric Aden said, “Jimmy has fought to protect law enforcement and is someone that is always ready to be the boots on the ground to help the men and women that sacrifice so much to protect our communities. He has never forgotten his North West Florida roots and has a long track record of supporting not only law enforcement but all first responders around the state and that is why he has my endorsement for re-election to District 1 in Congress.”
Escambia County Sheriff Chip Simmons said, “Jimmy Patronis has spent countless hours advocating for our communities’ heroes, and that’s why I have chosen to endorse him. He is a steadfast supporter of law enforcement and public safety in Washington. His unwavering commitment to public safety and to those that wear the badge is exactly what we need. We look forward to continuing working with him as Congressman for District 1.”
Santa Rosa County Sheriff Bob Johnson said, “Congressman Jimmy Patronis has my full endorsement for re-election to Florida Congressional District 1. He has already proven himself to be a strong leader for the state of Florida and as a Panhandle native, he has already made great investments in our community. I know he will continue to go to bat for us and I am looking forward to working together as we serve the wonderful people of Santa Rosa County.”
Walton County Sheriff Michael Adkinson Jr. said, “Jimmy has a deep knowledge and personal understanding for the importance of investing in our communities and a genuine love for the place we call home. We need elected leaders who know how valuable the Panhandle is to the State of Florida and who recognize the dedication our law enforcement officers bring every day as trusted resources for the people they serve. That is why I am proud to endorse Jimmy for re-election to Florida’s 1st Congressional District.”
Congressman Jimmy Patronis expressed gratitude for the endorsements saying, “The sheriffs of CD-1, they are among the very best in the nation. They understand our communities, serve with integrity, and work every day to keep the Panhandle safe. I’m deeply honored to have their support for re-election and proud to stand alongside them as friends and partners in service.”
