Statement by RPOF Chairman Jim Greer on Representative Ray Sansom’s Recusal of Duties as Speaker of the Florida House

Washington, D.C.—Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer released the following statement on Representative Ray Sansom’s temporary recusal of duties as Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives:

“Florida’s families and businesses face unprecedented challenges right now, and it is important that the Florida Legislature is free from any additional distractions while its members do the important work in front of them. We support Representative Sansom’s decision to temporarily step down from his position as Speaker in order to focus on clearing his name, and we are confident he will do just that. In the meantime, we look forward to working with both the Florida House and Senate to get our economy back on track and keep taxes low for families and businesses.”
