The Hager campaign recently announced endorsements from the Florida Sheriff’s Association, Progressive Residents of Delray, Florida Nurses Association, Palm Beach County Police Benevolent Association and the Palm Beach County Medical Society.

Also, with third quarter contributions, the campaign has raised more than $100,000.
Newly appointed is Campaign Manager Matthew Choy. Matthew recently worked with Republican Speaker Designate Dean Cannon’s campaign. Representative Cannon has endorsed Bill Hager for House District Seat 87.
