Former RPOF Chairwoman Carole Jean Jordan endorses Jim Greer


By Michael C. Bender, Palm Beach Post

Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer received an endorsement this morning from Carole Jean Jordan, the last RPOF chairman under Gov. Jeb Bush. Jordan, who challenged Greer for his chairmanship in 2006, sent out a letter supporting the incumbent in his upcoming election against Martin County Republican Eric Miller.

Greer can add endorsements to the nods he’s received from Senate President Jeff Atwater, R-North Palm Beach, and House Speaker Ray Sansom, R-Destin.

My Fellow Republicans:

I am writing to you in support of Jim Greer for re-election as Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida. Since Jim’s election he has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to building our party and providing support to our grassroots volunteers along with our County REC’s. In addition, Jim’s extensive travel throughout the state meeting with county leaders, volunteers, donors, and elected officials has enhanced our party’s influence and contributed to Republican victories statewide.

Jim’s leadership in the area of minority outreach has been recognized not only in Florida but on the national level and his fundraising abilities has also been a tremendous asset to the party.

In this challenging environment, we stemmed the tide in Florida by maintaining our strong majorities in both Chambers of the Florida Legislature, returned Congressional District 16 back to the Republican side of the aisle with Tom Rooney’s victory over incumbent Democrat Congressman Tim Mahoney and won an overwhelming majority of our local Republican races across the State.

As the Republican Party looks to the future, I believe the re-election of Chairman Greer is an important part of our state party’s continued success and I ask you to join me in supporting the re-election of Jim Greer as Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida.

Sincerely,

Carole Jean Jordan, Past Chairman, Republican Party of Florida
