With days left in state Rep. Jason Fischer‘s re-election bid in House District 16, the Jacksonville Republican scored an endorsement from a former Speaker of that body: U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio.
This is Rubio’s only endorsement in the region this cycle for state House races.
“Jason Fischer is a principled conservative who has delivered real results for Jacksonville,” said Rubio.
“Jason is a tireless advocate for working families, small businesses, and our children’s future. I’m proud to endorse Jason Fischer for State Representative,” Rubio added.
“I am honored to have received the endorsement and confidence of Senator Rubio. Senator Rubio has spent his entire career dedicated to making Florida a better place for our children and families. I look forward to continue working with Senator Rubio as we pursue our common vision to promote a vibrant economy in Florida and working for a better future for our children,” Fischer said.
Fischer goes into the homestretch with a significant fundraising advantage:
HD 16, meanwhile, continues the trend of Republican fundraising advantage: between his campaign account and his political committee, Fischer has raised over $368,000 in this cycle through Oct. 30. He has nearly $85,000 on hand.
Fischer’s Democratic opponent, Ken Organes, has raised nearly $49,000, yet retained under $13,000 through the same period.
HD 16 has a strong GOP plurality: of its 120,186 registered voters, over 55,000 are Republican.

Should have replaced “Jacksonville” with “charter school operators”…it’s all about the ROI baby! This guy never saw a kickback he didn’t like. Just another professional sellout who can be bought by the highest bidder. Any other profession would see working for charter schools & taking their campaign donations as a conflict of interest but Fischer & Rubio believe it is SOP…smh
