Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry is endorsing his fellow Republican, Atlantic Beach Mayor Mitch Reeves, for re-election.
“Having a great partner in the Beaches is integral to the shared success of our cities. Whether it’s public safety or protecting the investment of taxpayers,” Curry said on Wednesday, “Mayor Mitch Reeves is someone I can trust to get the job done.”
“When Hurricane Matthew threatened the Beaches, Mitch Reeves made sure Atlantic Beach was ready,” Curry added.
“Since after the storm passed, Mayor Reeves has been working with me to ensure the federal and state authorities keep their promises,” Curry continued.
“With common sense budgets and smart planning, Mitch ensures every taxpayer dollar is used wisely and helps keep Atlantic Beach beautiful,” Curry added.
Reeves was first elected Atlantic Beach mayor in 2015. The Florida League of Cities declared him a 2017 “Home Rule Hero.”
Curry’s political committee, “Build Something That Lasts,” also produced and sent out a mailer on Reeves’ behalf.
