GOPer Flees Its Own, Supports Sink

Outgoing state Sen. Alex Villalobos, R-Miami, on Monday endorsed Democratic gubernatorial nominee Alex Sink for the state’s top job over his party’s nominee, Republican Rick Scott.

This is the second Democratic endorsement the Republican lawmaker has made this month, endorsing fellow Miami state Senator Dan Gelber for attorney general last week.

“With her (Alex Sink) decades of respected business experience, I know she is a fiscal conservative who we can trust to move our state forward and work in a bipartisan way to find solutions to Florida’s challenges,” Villalobos said in a statement released by the Sink campaign.

Last week, Florida Attorney General, Bill McCollum also said “no” to endorsing Republican Rick Scott, Alex Sink’s rival in the governor’s race.
