Jim Norman gets endorsement from 3 top senators, boost to fundraising
July 17, 2009 at 6:58 am by Wayne GarciaSome bad news for those County Commissioner Jim Norman haters out there: the champion of Championship Park has landed a near knockout blow (at least in terms of fundraising help) from three top GOP senators in his bid to get a promotion to the Florida Senate.
From TBO.com:
Three Republican state senate leaders, including the future senate president, have taken sides with Hillsborough County Commissioner Jim Norman over state Rep. Kevin Ambler in the Republican primary for a Tampa Senate seat.
Norman and Ambler are running for the District 12 seat now held by Victor Crist, R-Tampa, who faces a term limit next year.
Norman got the endorsements of Sens. Mike Haridopolos of Merritt Island, who will be Senate president after the 2010 election; JD Alexander of Lake Wales, a key member of the Senate leadership team; and Don Gaetz of Niceville.
