Florida state Republicans consider Democratic labor advocate Patricia Sigman a threat to their power in Tallahassee. United States Representative Stephanie Murphy, who represents all of Seminole County in Washington, endorsed Patricia for State Senate District 9, which also covers all of Seminole County.
The Orlando Sentinel then gave her one of the strongest endorsements they’ve ever written. Since then, Republicans have spent over a million dollars, some of it illegally, smearing her with lies on tv, on the internet and in the mail. Congresswoman Murphy needs Patricia in Tallahassee to be her ally in working to build a better Florida for all. Make no mistake, there is only one advocate for Floridians on the ballot for the State Senate that Representative Murphy believes in, and her name is Patricia Sigman.
