Statement by Incoming Senate President Mike Haridopolos on Senator John Thrasher Winning SD 8 Republican Primary

Merritt Island, Fla. – Incoming Senate President Mike Haridopolos (R-Merritt Island) today released the following statement in regards to Senator John Thrasher winning the Senate District 8 Republican Primary.

“John Thrasher was the best candidate for Senate District 8 during his Special Election a little over a year ago, and is standing on even taller shoulders now after winning his second Republican Primary for Senate District 8.

“John’s commitment to the Republican values of less taxes and less government is echoed by the people of Senate District 8, and they know that John will stand up for them and make sure that their priorities and needs are his number one priority.

“As John now faces a Democrat challenger, I am confident that his conservative, lower taxes and pro-business beliefs will also resonate in the general election, sending this leader back to fight for Northeast Florida in the Senate.”
