TALLAHASSEE, FL — The Florida Democratic Party today released the following statement congratulating Sen. Bill Nelson for clenching a decisive primary victory in the race for U.S. Senate.

Statement from Florida Democratic Party Chairman Rod Smith:

“The primaries today mean Floridians will have a clear choice in the U.S. Senate race in November.  Sen. Bill Nelson or Connie Mack IV.  Bill Nelson, who always puts Florida first, or Mack, someone with an undistinguished record and a sense of entitlement.  Voters will have a choice between someone committed to protecting Medicare and Social Security, Nelson, and someone whose own budget plan would cut massive amounts of money from both programs, Mack.”
