Wilton Simpson backs Sen. Debbie Mayfield’s run for House District 32

MELBOURNE, Fla. – Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson endorsed Sen. Debbie Mayfield, R-Melbourne, in her bid for the Florida House of Representatives District 32 seat.

“When the battles over a secure border and parental rights began, Debbie Mayfield proudly stood with millions of Florida families who demanded accountability and leadership,” Simpson said. “I’m proud to endorse Debbie Mayfield because she is a proven Conservative who puts principles and people before politics.”

Reaching the end of her term limit in the Senate at the end of this year, Mayfield has chosen to pursue a return to the Florida House. She previously served in the lower chamber for eight years before her tenure in the Senate.

Mayfield initiated her campaign last week, garnering an endorsement from former President Donald Trump.

“Debbie Mayfield is a Conservative Warrior for Florida House, District 32!” Trump said on social media. “She is fighting hard to secure our Border, grow the Economy, support our Military/Vets, protect Parental Rights, and defend our always under siege Second Amendment.”

“Debbie never wavers in her commitment to keep Floridians free, and Make America Great Again. Debbie has my Complete and Total Endorsement!” he said.

Following the endorsement, Mayfield expressed gratitude to Trump in a statement.

“President Trump has been relentless in his pursuit to Make America Great Again and I am incredibly honored to have his endorsement in this fight,” Mayfield said.

“I am tremendously proud of the work we’ve done to protect parental rights, to preserve our precious natural resources and to stand up for the rights that have continued to make the Free State of Florida the envy of the nation,” she added.

Mayfield’s Senate seat, which covers part of Brevard County, has a contested Republican primary. However, one of the candidates, Rep. Randy Fine, R-Palm Bay, received Trump’s endorsement for the seat.
