Volusia County Commission Vice Chair Deborah Denys is endorsing former Green Beret Michael Waltz for Florida’s 6th Congressional District.

In a statement Thursday, Denys lauded Waltz’s “service in keeping America safe over multiple combat tours [as] a testament to his commitment to our values and freedom.”

“Like me,” Denys added, “he believes that bringing the commercial space industry to Volusia County will make the area a hub for American innovation and high-tech jobs for years to come as well as strengthen our national security. Michael Waltz is a native Floridian, businessman, a principled conservative, and a fighter that knows how to get things done in Washington, DC.”

Waltz said he and Denys “share a common vision for our community and our country. Like me, Councilwoman Denys believes that the spirit of American exceptionalism has pioneered the greatest innovations the world has ever seen. I am grateful for her support and am committed to ensuring our greatest days and innovations as Americans are ahead of us.”

CD 6 runs from St. Johns to Volusia counties. The seat is currently held by Rep. Ron DeSantis, who is locked in a two-man battle with Adam Putnam for the Republican nomination for Governor.

On the GOP side, Waltz faces a crowded field: former Ormond Beach state Rep. Fred Costello, businessman John Ward, and St. Johns County Commissioner Jimmy Johns.
