Senator Marco Rubio has formally endorsed Dr. Julio Gonzalez over Charlie Crist Republican, Richard DeNapoli, in the Republican primary race for Florida State House district 74.

This endorsement is no surprise to anyone, as it has been widely documented that DeNapoli used to heckle during campaign events, and actively worked against Rubio during the 2010 Senate race against now-Democrat Charlie Crist.

“Julio Gonzalez is living the American Dream… “A doctor, veteran and community leader, Julio and his wife Gina are raising their two daughters in South Sarasota County. He’s lived, worked and contributed to the community for a decade, and now he wants to give back by representing the area in the State House.

Gonzalez’s statement:

Dr. Julio Gonzalez

“I am honored to have the endorsement of Senator Marco Rubio, one of Florida’s great Speakers of the House, a member of the United States Senate, and one of our nation’s preeminent leaders in conservative political thought,” said Gonzalez. “Senator Rubio has been a stalwart of conservative, ethical, and responsible leadership throughout his career. I am thrilled to have earned his confidence and trust in my efforts to fill the House District 74 seat.”- Dr.Julio Gonzalez

Update–I forgot to include this priceless picture of a campaign advertisement DeNapoli put out to give the impression that Marco Rubio was supporting his campaign.

This is Priceless!
