TAMPA, Fla. — As the Democratic primary for Florida governor heats up, U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist announced an endorsement Monday from one of the most notable, and controversial, names in national politics: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
“From his tireless work in Congress to his commitment to Floridians across the state, Charlie Crist has an impenetrable record of fighting for the people of the Sunshine State and delivering results that matter,” Pelosi said in a statement.
Crist has served three terms in Congress representing Florida’s 13th District. He was previously Florida governor, as a Republican, from 2007-2011.
