Today, Congressman and former Sheriff John Rutherford endorsed Dean Black in the newly created State House seat in Northeast Florida, District 15, in Nassau County and the north and westsides of Duval County.

Rutherford offered the following statement on his endorsement:

“I am proud to endorse my friend Dean Black for the Florida Legislature. Dean is a veteran, businessowner and patriot who has been on the front line for years fighting for our values. He has the knowledge, skills and abilities to service Northeast Florida. Dean is also a strong supporter of law enforcement and our brave first responders – which we need now more than ever. I encourage all fellow conservatives to support Dean Black for Florida House District 15.”
