Congressman Adam Putnam endorsed by Vets for Freedom PAC of Florida
BARTOW, FL – Today Congressman Adam Putnam was pleased to accept the endorsement from Vets for Freedom PAC – Florida Chapter.
“As a native Floridian, and Iraq war veteran, I am proud to support Adam Putnam,” said VFFPAC Florida State Captain, Will Bennett. “In light of his steadfast support for the military and exemplary service while in Congress, it is my honor to endorse Adam in his bid for Florida Commissioner of Agriculture. I believe Adam will bring the same strong work ethic and responsibility he has displayed in Congress to the Commissioner’s office here in Florida.”
“I am honored to be recognized and endorsed by Vets for Freedom -- an organization that has tirelessly fought for the brave men and women serving our country,” Putnam said. “Our nation's military have made great sacrifices in order to protect America's freedoms and democracy throughout history. I am deeply proud of the men and women in the Armed Forces and will always be inspired by the generations of Americans that have served our country so bravely. Our troops have always been a great priority of mine as a policy maker. Regardless of my position, I will always stand up for the heroes in uniform that have served America and secured freedom and democracy for all of us.”
