Outgoing Republican state Sen. Alex Villalobos, R-Miami, has endorsed Democrat Dan Gelber for attorney general over Republican nominee Pam Bondi.
“As a former top federal prosecutor, Dan understands the importance of serving as an Attorney General that puts protecting Floridians above partisan politics, and that’s why I’ve endorsed him for Attorney General,” Villalobos said in a prepared statement. “Public safety and security is not a partisan issue, and I have great confidence in Dan to always put the best interests of Florida’s citizens above all else.”
In addition to serving in the Senate together, both men have worked for Miami powerhouse law firm Akerman Senterfitt. Gelber left the the firm this past summer after it agreed to represent BP in matters related to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
