Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Tampa state Sen. Janet Cruz endorses Joe Biden for president
https://www.tampabay.com/florida-politics/buzz/2019/08/27/tampa-state-sen-janet-cruz-endorses-joe-biden-for-president/State Sen. Janet Cruz is the latest prominent Florida Democrat to back Joe Bidens bid for the White House.
The Tampa lawmaker said Tuesday that she is supporting the former vice president over his 20 opponents because hes a candidate that we know, hes a candidate that will restore honor and integrity to the office.
When I stand with Joe, I feel like Im talking to someone who is capable of leading our country mature, brilliant and caring, said Cruz, who rallied Democrats alongside Biden at a Tampa campaign event last October.
Cruz, a former leader of Democrats in the Florida House of Representatives, narrowly won a race last year to represent Tampa in the state Senate. Her district includes one of the regions largest Latino populations, which she said was a factor in her decision as many of her constituents are troubled by President Donald Trumps immigration policies.
Biden, she said, has made a commitment to Latinos who are going to have a voice in this campaign at the highest level.
