Statewide Endorsements

President Barack Obama

The President is four-square behind Kendrick Meek. He’s met him multiple times in the state and introduced him as the next senator from Florida. On Obama's last visit to Florida he said "Let me also say something about the next senator from the state of Florida. Kendrick Meek is a champion of middle-class familiies and someone who is not afraid to stand up to special interests"

Former President William "Bill" Clinton

Almost 20 years ago, when I first met Kendrick Meek, I knew he had the potential to become a strong leader and a fine public servant. Kendrick has spent the last two decades faithfully serving the people of Florida, staying true to his core beliefs and giving everything he has to improving the lives of others.

Former U.S. Senator & Florida Governor Bob Graham

Kendrick is a son of Florida who has lived a life of public service. As a Trooper, he patrolled the highways and byways of our state keeping Floridians safe. When he was elected to the state legislature, Kendrick made education the centerpiece of his agenda, and now in Congress, he is giving Floridians a much needed voice at the legislative table as the public policy issues affecting the nation for generations to come are debated. He has always put the needs of our state first and during these trying times, it is people of deep substance like Kendrick Meek who will help guide our economy from recession to recovery. Endorsing Kendrick is an honor and I look forward to spending time with him and the Meek family on the campaign trail. Read More

"He's stood tall for the interests of all Floridians and is not afraid to take on special interests that put their needs above those of our state's citizens. His voice and convictions are needed in the U.S. Senate. That's why I'm wholeheartedly endorsing Kendrick Meek for the U.S. Senate." Read More

Florida CFO Alex Sink

I am pleased to endorse Congressman Kendrick Meek as a candidate for U.S. Senate. During his time in the state legislature, Kendrick worked diligently to improve Florida's schools. As a member of Congress, Kendrick has worked on behalf of Florida’s families, making his voice heard of issues of housing and providing economic opportunities for Floridians. He has been a strong advocate for Floridians in Congress and I am confident will continue to work tirelessly for the people of Florida as their next U.S. Senator. Read More

Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus

"Kendrick Meek stands shoulder to shoulder with members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus on issues most important to the Latino Community - including comprehensive immigration reform" said Rep. Nydia Velazquez, speaking for herself. "Rep. Meek was one of the first and most vocal supporters of Judge Sonia Sotomayor's nomination to the Supreme Court, recognizing her strong grasp of legal doctrine and knowledge of how the law impacts people's everyday lives. He is an advocate for Latinos in Florida as well as around the country and will make a strong addition to the U.S. Senate." Read More
