Stuart, Fla. Republican Candidate Rebecca Negron for Florida Congressional District 18 today
announced her strongest fundraising quarter to date, raising $239,000 in the first quarter of 2016.
This announcement comes on the heels of endorsements by Congressman Tom Rooney and the Palm
Beach County Police Benevolent Association, as well as the announcement that she is the first candidate
to qualify by petition to appear on the ballot to represent Florida Congressional District 18 for the
Republican Primary this August.
I am truly overwhelmed by the strong support my campaign for Congress has received, said Negron.
As I have campaigned throughout the district, the support for my message for Americans to start
pulling together again to reclaim our government is clearly catching on. Im honored to have the
endorsement of Congressman Tom Rooney and the Palm Beach PBA, but perhaps most of all, Im
humbled so many have decided its time to send a problem-solving conservative to Congress.
