The Democratic race for Attorney General has been a race that many Florida Democrats have been reluctant to take a stand on, since in most cases they respect both men, but with less than 6 weeks to go before the August 24 primary, that block of neutrality is starting to break.
The Gelber camp was thrilled last week to get the endorsement of Nan Rich, who said she didn't appreciate Aronberg's attacks on Gelber related to his former law firm taking on BP as a client.
But on Tuesday, south Florida state Senator Eleanor Sobel came out and endorsed Aronberg, who said:
He is law enforcement's clear choice in this race, as he has been endorsed by 14 Democratic Sheriffs, the FOP and the PBA. Indeed, he will use his boundless energy and tireless work ethic to be one of the best Attorney Generals this state has ever seen.
And when it comes to one of the most important lawsuits in Florida history — the impending litigation against BP — Dave Aronberg will be the tough and aggressive AG that we need to make sure that the polluters pay.
