“Police officers risk their lives to protect ours,” said Lee, in the TV spot. “They must make split second decisions. Liberals condemn those decisions because they’ve never had to make them…In Congress, I’ll defend the rule of law – and those who serve it.”
Lee earlier today announced the endorsement of former Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Rick Swearingen, who has endorsed Lee as the best CD 15 candidate for law enforcement.
In addition to former Commissioner Swearingen, Lee has over 50 armed service veterans who have lent their names in support of her campaign for Congress, and she has received the endorsements of Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, Green Beret Jay Collins, and numerous local elected officials, including Plant City leaders.
The newly drawn Congressional District 15 encompasses eastern Hillsborough County, along with parts of Pasco and Polk Counties.
