Danny Burgess got the biggest nod of all in his race for Senate District 20.
Gov. Ron DeSantis endorsed Burgess Friday to succeed outgoing Sen. Tom Lee, who resigned, effective Nov. 3, last month.
“Danny is the kind of guy you want with you in the foxhole. He’s tough, mission driven and a proven leader,” DeSantis Governor. “He cares about Florida and I am proud to stand with him because the hardworking people of our great state deserve a warrior like Danny in the Florida Senate.”
DeSantis previously appointed Burgess as executive director of the Florida Department of Veterans Affairs, a position which Burgess resigned to seek the Senate seat.
“Florida’s veterans have no greater advocates than Governor DeSantis and the First Lady. Their commitment and passion to serve those who’ve served inspires me each and every day. I’m so honored by the Governor’s confidence in me and look forward to continue working together on behalf of the people of Florida,” said Burgess.
DeSantis is Burgess’ third major endorsement. Shortly after Lee announced his resignation, Senate President Designate Wilton Simpson and Majority Leader Kathleen Passidomo offered their support.
Lee also endorsed Burgess as his successor.
Kathy Lewis, who unsuccessfully ran against Lee in 2018, is running as a Democrat.

No More Democrats!
What do these Mayors & Governors have in common?………
Wolf (Gov PA) Kenney (Mayor Philadelphia) Pritzker (Gov Il), Lori Lightfoot (Mayor Chicago) Gavin Newsom (Gov CA) Kate Brown (Gov OR) Ted Wheeler (Mayor Portland OR) Jay Inslee (Gov WA) Jenny Durkan (Mayor Seattle) Cuomo, Di Blasio (Gov & Mayor NY) Walz (Gov MN) Frey (Mayor MN) Lyda Krewson (Mayor St. Louis) Gretchen Whitmer (Gov MI & Mike Duggan Mayor Detroit)
All are Democrats who kept the economy in their states and cities closed as long as they could (many still are) and ordered Police in their cities to stand down and allow the “Protesters” to loot, burn, destroy beat people in the streets even murder.
How do you like Democrat Socialism? just like the third world isn’t it. Democrat Governor’s & Mayors philosophy? Police were ordered to stand down while the city was looted, burned to the ground, citizens beaten trying to protect their businesses. .
There is no moderate wing of the Democrat party people and they don’t care about taxpayers (especially if you’re white) If you vote for Joe Biden, you are voting for Bernie Sanders, or Elizabeth Warren’s far left platform and against your own bestr interests.. Joe will follow the radical left’s agenda or Joe won’t get the support (and he is)…of Val Demings, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Valerie Jarrett,. Rashida Talib, Stacy Abrams, Ayanna Pressley, Nancy Pelosi, Sheila Jackson Lee, Tom Perez, Maxine Waters, Al Green, and llhan Omar.
This is the core of the socialists leftist wing of the Democrat party in Washington and they are firmly in charge.
