Florida GOP Rep. Bill Posey Announces He Will Not Seek Re-Election, Endorses Successor
Florida GOP Rep. Bill Posey made a surprising announcement on Friday, revealing that he will not be seeking re-election. This decision comes as a shock to many, as Posey had previously expressed interest in running for another term in office.
In a statement released to the public, Posey expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to serve in Congress, citing the support of his constituents as a driving force behind his decision to run for re-election. However, he explained that unforeseen circumstances have led him to suspend his re-election campaign.
Despite his decision not to seek another term, Posey assured his constituents that he will continue to represent them to the best of his ability until the end of his current term. He also announced his endorsement of former Florida Senate President Mike Haridopolos as his successor.
Haridopolos, who announced his campaign on the same day as Posey’s announcement, expressed his gratitude for the endorsement and vowed to continue Posey’s legacy of service and dedication to the community.
Posey, who has served in Congress since 2008 and previously worked in the Florida State Legislature for 18 years, has been a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump. He recently made headlines for voting against the foreign aid package and the FISA renewal, citing concerns about border security and national debt.
As Posey prepares to step down from his position, all eyes are on Haridopolos as he gears up for his congressional campaign. With Posey’s endorsement and support, Haridopolos is poised to continue the fight against the “swamp” and uphold the values that Posey has championed during his time in office.
