PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. – On Wednesday, Former National Security Advisor to President Donald Trump, General Michael Flynn, announced his endorsement for Kevin Hayslett in Florida’s Congressional 13th District.
In part, Flynn said, “I strongly and wholeheartedly endorse Kevin Hayslett to be the next United States Congressman from Florida’s 13th Congressional District.”
“I’m honored to have the support of General Flynn, one of President Trump’s closest allies, and someone who has served our country for over three decades,” stated Hayslett. “Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi have destroyed this country with their disastrous border policies and record inflation. It’s time for a course correction, and it’s time to stand up to the DC establishment, and that’s exactly what I’ll do in Congress.”
Hayslett has been endorsed by Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, Pinellas County Commissioner Kathleen Peters, and Florida Speaker of the House Chris Sprowls, to name a few.
In its entirety, the endorsement from Gen. Michael Flynn is below:
I strongly and wholeheartedly endorse Kevin Hayslett to be the next United States Congressman from Florida’s 13th Congressional District.
This November’s elections are the most consequential in our nation’s history as we fight for our way of life here in America. We need leaders who will stand up against the establishment and those in the WDC swamp. Kevin is that type of leader. He is a solid, reliable, consistent conservative and the only real Trump Republican running for Congress in FL-13. I pray the people in the 13th District see through the lies being told about him by the DC swamp.
Throughout Kevin’s life and his example as a family man, He has demonstrated the type of courage, discipline, and dedication to our country that we need right now in our political leadership. As a Veteran, I know Kevin stands strongly for the men and women who serve today but also those Veterans who have served our nation. With two of his sons currently serving, that alone is a demonstration of Kevin and his family’s sacrifice and commitment.
Kevin also has an amazing intellect, he is an exceptional businessman, and possesses his own record of community service that is unmatched by his opponent. Speaking of his opponent, she has been dishonest about her military service and that should not go unnoticed by the 13th District’s voters. We cannot have more dishonesty representing us in WDC. Kevin also has the endorsement of many Law Enforcement Professionals and that speaks volumes for his stand against the border invasion that is directly affecting our streets, our neighborhoods, and our families, especially our children.
Kevin Hayslett is exactly the type and quality of leader we need during these tumultuous times America faces. Every fair-minded American can see there is a shift in the political landscape, and we are no longer in a politics as usual era.
We now face an era of political discourse and lack of accountability that requires leaders willing to make the harder right decisions.
Kevin Hayslett is that type of leader and that is why he has my fullest and strongest endorsement. I pray the people of the 13th District will join me as we choose new, fresh leaders that will take us into a brighter future, one that our children and grandchildren can be proud of. Kevin Hayslett is exactly the right choice.
