Florida Sixth Congressional District candidate Democrat Nancy Soderberg picked up an endorsement from former Vice President Joe Biden on Monday.
Soderberg served as a U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations under President Bill Clinton. She was also the director of the University of North Florida’s Public Service Leadership Program.
“At the White House and as an Ambassador to the United Nations, Nancy brokered international peace deals, and helped develop and promote U.S. national security policy. She understands what it’s like to bring both sides to the table and solve complex issues,” Biden said in the endorsement announcement.
