Republican congressional candidate, Dr. Neal Dunn, has just received the endorsement of former Congressman Steve Southerland (R), who previously held the seat Dunn is running for, before narrowly losing to Congresswoman Gwen Graham (D) in 2014.
Team Dunn put out an press release announcing Southerland’s support for Dunn:“This is not just another former congressman endorsing a candidate,” said former Congressman Southerland. “I have examined the field thoroughly and feel strongly that Neal Dunn is the best conservative Republican candidate and is the only candidate I have endorsed for this race. He and his wife, Leah, are conservative Christians with a long family history of military service and sacrifice. He also has a distinguished career as a surgeon treating many thousands of North Florida families. He knows firsthand the failures of Obamacare and is the candidate most capable of repealing and replacing that broken system with one that is patient centered and market based.”
“Neal and Leah are business owners who know how hard it is to start and run a successful business, meeting payroll, growing jobs and working through the maze of government regulations,” continued former Congressman Southerland. “Neal’s background in the military, medicine and business is crucial to these times. His life perfectly qualifies him to speak for and fight for North and Northwest Floridafamilies. Neal is a conservative with solutions that work and because of our shared belief in hard work and honest dealings, I stand behind Neal Dunn 100 percent.”

Dunn added his two cents regarding the endorsement:
Dunn’s chief opponent in his GOP primary race, Attorney Mary Thomas, put out the following statement shortly after Southerland’s endorsement was released:“I thank my dear friend, Steve Southerland, for his support of my campaign,” said Dr. Dunn. “I share former Congressman Southerland’s sentiments about North and Northwest Florida and just how important it is for our district to be well represented in Washington by strong conservative leadership. I know what it takes to make our community healthier and our economy stronger, and the need to repeal and replace Obamacare and for businesses to thrive and grow. And, I pledge, if elected, to help restore America’s faith in Congress. We must get government out of the business of health care and stop putting mandates on our business community that hamper job growth and economic prosperity. I am also concerned about the growing threat posed to our families by the dark shadow of terrorism. My lifetime of experience has prepared me to address this.”
“It’s no surprise political insiders and lobbyists are supporting Neal Dunn, he is one of them. After all Dunn lobbied for the expansion of Obamacare in Florida and donated to Democrats. That’s what insiders do. Conservative Republicans want someone to stand up for them, not Washington politics as usual, which is why Mary Thomas is going to win.
Only Mary Thomas will fight to repeal Obamacare, end Common Core, and say no to amnesty for illegals.”–Lisa Morrison, spokeswoman for Mary Thomas for Congress.
Expect the attacks Dunn and his supposed support for Obamacare to ramp up.
