88% Of Florida Sheriffs Endorse Ron DeSantis [VIDEO]

Miami’s ABC News affiliate reports:

Dozens of Florida sheriffs declared their support for Governor Ron DeSantis during a Monday morning press conference. According to Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey, 59 of Florida’s 67 sheriffs recognized that “Governor DeSantis’ support of law enforcement is why Florida’s crime rate is going down.”

The eight sheriffs who did not announce their support for the governor’s reelection were from Alachua, Broward, Leon, Miami-Dade, Orange, Osceola, Palm Beach, and St. Lucie Counties. All sheriffs in those counties are Democrats.

DeSantis said the Florida House is working on a bill that would offer a $5,000 signing bonus for any qualified law enforcement officer to move to Florida, or employees new to the law enforcement profession.
