Graham Endorsement

“Senator Graham is the role model U.S. Senator and throughout my lifetime, I have witnessed firsthand how Senator Graham was able to better the lives of the people he represented,” said U.S. Congressman Kendrick Meek.  “He worked for Floridians, but also with Floridians by joining us in our everyday lives.  Senator Graham understood the challenges our teachers face or the responsibilities our police officers undertake because his primary concern was the well-being of people.  I will continue to seek out the guidance and counsel of Senator Graham throughout this campaign and beyond.  I am honored to accept his endorsement.”  

“Kendrick is a son of Florida who has lived a life of public service,” said Senator Bob Graham.  “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.”
