Congressman Patrick Murphy made another major announcement today in the Democratic Primary for Florida’s U.S. Senate race. Rep. Murphy is facing off against Orlando’s Congressman Alan Grayson for the Democratic nomination. Today, 46 members of the U.S. House endorsed Patrick Murphy for U.S. Senate, bringing Murphy’s total Congressional endorsements to 50.
Adding to the blow against Grayson, 10 members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus are included on Murphy’s latest endorsement list. Grayson has made his progressive record and credentials the center of his bid for Senate.
“I’m honored to have so many progressive leaders and Democratic colleagues supporting my campaign for U.S. Senate,” said Rep. Murphy. “In the House of Representatives, we have stood together to strengthen our middle class, protect Social Security and Medicare for our seniors, and fight to protect women’s health care. In the U.S. Senate, I will continue fighting for these priorities and I’m humbled by the momentum we continue to build across Florida and the nation.”
