George LeMieux today got the endorsement of former Orange County Mayor Rich Crotty and former Jacksonville Mayor John Peyton.

“With high foreclosure and unemployment rates, Central Florida is facing real problems and we need a Senator we know will offer serious solutions,” said Crotty. “George LeMieux proved his abilities while serving in the US Senate. When George returns, he will fight for Central Florida to get us back on track.”

“While in the Senate, George LeMieux was a friend to Jacksonville and I know he will continue to fight for our great city when he returns,” said Peyton.  “George also understands business and recognizes the crippling effect budget deficits and a growing national debt have on our economy and our future."
