TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Today, Sierra Club Florida is proud to announce its endorsement of Jose Javier Rodriguez for Florida Attorney General.
Floridians deserve an Attorney General who will fight for their rights and stand up to powerful interests, whether corporations, individuals, or even our own state and federal governments. Throughout his career in public service, Jose Javier Rodriguez has proven that he is willing to take on those fights and stand up for the people of Florida.
During his time in the Florida Legislature, Rodriguez earned a well-deserved reputation as an environmental champion. He fought relentlessly for clean water, Everglades restoration, stronger environmental protections, and action to address the growing threats of climate change. His signature rain boots became a memorable symbol of his efforts to bring much-needed attention in the Legislature to sea level rise and the urgent need to make Florida more resilient.
Jose Javier Rodriguez, Democratic Nominee for Florida Attorney General, said, “I’m proud to earn the endorsement of Sierra Club Florida and grateful for their work protecting our communities and natural resources. As Attorney General, I’ll stand up to powerful interests and corrupt politicians who put profits ahead of Floridians, give away our public lands, or allow polluters to break the rules. I’ll make sure our laws are enforced to protect the people and places that make Florida special.”
Sierra Club Florida and its over 240,000 members and supporters across the state are ready to work to elect Jose Javier Rodriguez as Florida’s next Attorney General. Floridians will be better served with a proven fighter and environmental advocate working to protect our people, communities, and natural resources.
