Former staffers and colleagues of Democrat Rep. Charlie Crist (D-FL), Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) challenger in Florida’s gubernatorial race, have openly endorsed the Republican governor over their ex-boss, concluding that the “choice could not be more clear.” The endorsement, delivered in the form of an open letter to Florida, features “former colleagues and staff” of Crist. “Together, we have known Charlie in virtually all phases of his career and public life,” the letter reads, identifying the undersigned as “well-qualified to endorse in the Florida Governor’s race because we have significant experience in public service to the state of Florida.”
