ORLANDO, Fla. – Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer endorsed former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg for president of the United States on Tuesday.
“I’ve worked with former Mayor Mike Bloomberg for a number of years on a variety of issues, from gun control to sustainability and resiliency to increasing resident engagement and implementing data-driven best practices to move cities forward. Mike has shown me he really cares about issues that cities are currently facing and I believe there is no one better to be in the White House than a former Mayor who knows how to get things done,” Dyer said.
Bloomberg spent the afternoon of Super Tuesday campaigning in Orlando.
Central Florida Congresswoman Stephanie Murphy has also endorsed Bloomberg.
Bloomberg plans to continue campaigning in West Palm Beach Tuesday and made a stop in Miami this week.
The Florida Presidential Primary is set for March 17. Early voting is already underway in many Central Florida counties.
Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Amy Klobuchar dropped out of the race after the primary in South Carolina and endorsed Vice President Joe Biden for the nomination.
While Bloomberg is campaigning in Florida, delegates from 14 states will be on the line on Super Tuesday.
