The Hillary Clinton campaigns rolled out its "Florida Leadership Council," which is basically a list of virtually every promeinent Democratic politician and a host of activists.

From the Clinton campaign:

"I have known Hillary for decades, dating back to her time with the Children’s Defense Fund,” said Congressman Alcee Hastings of Ft. Lauderdale. “In this capacity, I came to know her as a smart and driven advocate, whose thoughtfulness and deliberation helped to advance justice and the rule of law in a time when African Americans and women struggled daily to attain the freedom and equality enshrined in our constitution. Hillary’s commitment to these principles has never wavered, and I can say unequivocally that she is the right choice for this nation."

"When it comes to Florida’s cities, and the challenges they face, Hillary Clinton is the best candidate equipped to tackle and move them forward,” said Mayor Phillip Levine of Miami Beach. “Clinton gets it, and will make a fundamental difference for every city in America."

I thought he might try to differentiate himself from Murphy by endorsing Sanders.

Funny thing is that the people who adore Clinton are unlikely to be supporting Grayson in his Senate primary.
