Rep. Chuck Brannan on Thursday endorsed Republican congressional candidate Judson Sapp for Florida’s 3rd Congressional District.
“Our country is in desperate need of strong leadership in Congress. Judson Sapp will stand firm to protect our conservative values and get things done for Floridians. I’m proud to endorse Judson Sapp for Congress because I know he will go to Washington to support President [Donald] Trump and fight for us,” Brannan said in a news release.
Sapp responded, “Chuck Brannan is a seventh-generation Floridian, rancher, and dedicated public servant. He served us in North Florida as a career law enforcement officer and now as a State Representative. I appreciate Chuck’s service to our state and his support.”
Sapp, a Clay County native, is the CEO of W.J. Sapp Railroad Contractor, which operates throughout the Southeastern United States.
Brannan joins U.S. Reps. Vern Buchanan and John Rutherford as well as former U.S. Rep. Cliff Stearns, former Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll, Bradford County Sheriff Gordon Smith and Putnam County Sheriff Gator DeLoach in endorsing Sapp in the crowded GOP primary to succeed retiring U.S. Rep. Ted Yoho.
