State Representative Dr. Fred Costello (R) was the only one of several Republican to not drop his bid for the U.S. Congress once Congressman Ron DeSantis (R) decided to run for re-election to his seat.
Considering that he faces a steep, uphill race against the popular conservative congressman, Costello continues to grind away, and has manage to garner are respectable amount of support for his campaign.Costello is pushing the fact that he has won a straw poll of 300 voters that was conducted at the West Volusia Regional Chamber of Commerce Hot Nob this week.
Here are the results:
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
39.86%-Fred Costello
26.33- Ron DeSantis
19.22- GG GallowayCostello’s press release does not indicate whether this event was solely a GOP event, or if Independents and Democrats had participated.
Either way, Costello is a happy camper.
“I am elated that I won with 50% more votes than DeSantis, my nearest competitor, and 100% more votes than Galloway. That’s amazing!” “I was confident we would win but the margin of victory is indicative folks want our own local Congressman rather than a ‘Fox News Congressman’ more interested in raising his national reputation than serving constituents at home.”-Dr. Fred Costello
Meanwhile, Rep. Ron DeSantis has just landed the NRA endorsement.
