Democratic U.S. Rep. Darren Soto is weighing in on the Florida House District 47 race, offering an endorsement of Anna Eskamani, who’s trying to grab an open swing seat being vacated by state Rep. Mike Miller, who’s seeking a spot in Congress himself.
“Anna is a real fighter with strong experience and knowledge of our community. She will serve us well in Tallahassee!” Soto stated in a news release issued by Eskamani’s campaign.
Soto spent five years in the Florida House himself, and then four years in the Florida Senate, before being elected to Congress last year.
Eskamani faces Republican Winter Park businessman Stockton Reeves for the HD 47 seat, which covers north-central Orange County, including Winter Park and downtown Orlando.
