DeSantis Endorsed By Democrat Palm Beach County Commissioner Dave Kerner

WEST PALM BEACH (FLV) – Gov. Ron DeSantis received an endorsement from Dave Kerner, the Democrat County Commissioner for Palm Beach County and former City of Alachua law enforcement officer.

An event was held at the Police Benevolent Association in West Palm Beach to announce the endorsement.  

“Endorsing Governor DeSantis was the obvious choice. Job number one of a Governor is to keep our residents safe. No one does that better than Governor DeSantis,” Dave Kerner said.

DeSantis has been endorsed by every major law enforcement organization in the state including the Florida Police Chiefs Association, the Florida Police Benevolent Association, and 59 sheriffs across the state, including Democrat sheriffs. 

“Florida is a law-and-order state because we put the safety of Floridians first and we stand up for law enforcement and reject the Left’s anti-police movement,” DeSantis said.

“We are focused on protecting victims and not coddling criminals, and no one knows that better than Dave, who served Florida’s communities. Commissioner Kerner knows first-hand the threat of the Defund the Police movement and understands the important role that our local law enforcement officers play in keeping Florida safe.” 

“In Florida, we support law enforcement, reject the anti-police movement, and focus on justice for victims — not coddling criminals,” DeSantis said of the endorsement. “

“Democrat and former police officer @DavidMKerner stands for the rule of law. Thankful to receive his endorsement today in West Palm Beach!”
