Sam Gibbons Endorses Gus Bilirakis

Democratic Sam Gibbons has endorsed Gus Bilirakis.

“His good work and his demonstrated abilities make him as one who should be reelected,” said Gibbons. “I feel that my 34 years in Congress representing a good part of Congressman Bilirakis’ current district, qualifies me to make this endorsement. I am pleased to support the reelection of Congressman Bilirakis.”

Gibbons held 11th Congressional District of Florida. That seat is now held by Kathy Castor. Creative Loafing political editor Wayne Garcia reports that Gibbons friendship with Bilirakis father, former Republican Rep. Michael Bilirakis, played a role in the endorsement.
