“We are announcing our endorsement of Wilton Simpson for Florida Commissioner of Agriculture. Commissioner of Agriculture is an important position in the future prosperity and safety of our great state and Wilton Simpson is the candidate that will fill the position with strong and aggressive leadership. The Commissioner of Agriculture protects not only our critical agricultural industry, but is responsible for safe guarding the citizens of Florida with the Division of Consumer Services. It is a complex position dealing with fighting fraud, gas inspections, and concealed carry permitting. Wilton Simpson is the man for the job, he understands the complexities of our state and we look forward to working with him in the future. ”

Wilton’s commonsense conservatism has earned endorsements across the state from hardworking farmers and builders to our brave law enforcement community. His work to protect our Second Amendment rights, to keep our taxes low and our economy strong has Floridians standing with Wilton, because they know he stands with them.
