Republican gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis picked up an endorsement from Jacksonville Sheriff Mike Williams Thursday morning at the Fallen Officers Memorial Wall in downtown Jacksonville.
“Make no mistake about it, Ron DeSantis is the pro-law enforcement, pro-public safety candidate in this race,” said Williams in endorsing DeSantis.
The endorsement from Williams and dozens of other Florida law enforcment members in attendance comes as Vice President Mike Pence prepares to visit Jacksonville on Thursday.
