Gus Bilirakis to launch reelection campaign with three kickoff events, special guest
HOMOSASSA, Fla. – Rep. Gus Bilirakis, R-Fla., is set to launch his 2024 reelection campaign on April 20 with three kickoff events in Congressional district 12.
His campaign announced that the kickoff would include a special guest appearance from Leo “2.0” Terrell, a conservative civil rights lawyer and talk show host.
The three April 20 events include a 9 a.m. stop in Homosassa, an 11:30 a.m. stop in Brooksville and a 2 p.m. stop in Holiday.
Bilirakis has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump and expressed his support for the 45th president during an interview on Florida’s Voice with Brendon Leslie.
“We went to Iowa and campaigned with him, and I gave a speech, impromptu speech, and he told me that I did the best. He actually had all the members, there were a few members with us from Florida, and he said I was a star,” Bilirakis said.
He also mentioned how Trump helped him with a reelection fundraiser.
“It was fantastic. I mean he spent a lot of time with us, took pictures with everyone,” the lawmaker said. “He always says, ‘gosh you never ask me for anything, you’re always asking for others.’ He always does tell me ‘think of yourself, because you are doing a great job.’”
Bilirakis entered Congress following a victory in the 2012 election. He won his sixth term in office after defeating his Democratic challenger by a 40 point difference in 2022.
