Ron DeSantis is backing Assistant Miami-Dade County Police Director Rosie Cordero-Stutz for county Sheriff.
Almost a month after Cordero-Stutz outpaced 10 opponents in a Republican Primary, her campaign announced that Florida’s Governor prefers her over Democrat James Reyes, Miami-Dade’s Chief of Public Safety.
“Rosie will deliver for the residents by ensuring a tough-on-crime environment and following the rule of law,” DeSantis said. “I look forward to working with her when she is elected this November.”
DeSantis’ endorsement joins others from Donald Trump, Rick Scott, Mario Díaz-Balart, Carlos Giménez, 27 current Florida Sheriffs and former Miami-Dade Commissioner Sally Heyman, a Democrat.
