Congresswoman Corrine Brown Endorses Congressman Kendrick Meek for U.S. Senate

Jacksonville, FL - Congresswoman Corrine Brown (D-Jacksonville) endorsed Congressman Kendrick Meek for the U.S. Senate today, saying her congressional colleague is "a proven leader able to serve all Floridians in the U.S. Senate."

"Nobody understands northeast and central Florida better than Congresswoman Corrine Brown, and her endorsement of this campaign is a major boost to our effort," said Congressman Kendrick Meek.  "Chairwoman Corrine Brown delivers for the families in her Congressional District, and her expertise on transportation and economic issues is widely respected throughout Capitol Hill and the state of Florida.  There is no greater advocate working to help bring high-speed rail to central Florida and thousands of jobs to the I-4 corridor than the chairwoman, and throughout this campaign, I will continue to seek out Congresswoman Brown's advice and counsel."

"Congressman Kendrick Meek is a champion for Florida's interests in Congress, and no other candidate will better represent our state's interests in the U.S. Senate," said Congresswoman Corrine Brown. "I look forward to campaigning alongside Congressman Meek and working together to deliver the crucial votes in north and central Florida needed for his victory. I have known Kendrick for many years, and his mother, my former colleague Congresswoman Carrie P. Meek, is a close personal friend. Kendrick and I have worked together in the House and I know we will work together when he gets to the Senate. I am confident that he can beat Charlie Crist and provide our state with principled leadership in the U.S. Senate."
