Libertarian Alex Snitker throwing support behind Bob White to battle Adam Putnam for Florida governor
As Rick Scott’s tenure as Florida governor comes to an end, the political landscape across the Sunshine State continues to become less and less clear. Like the national election which put Donald Trump in the White House, must uncertainty plagues both the Democrats and the Republicans for seats in Tallahassee.
Now Alex Snitker, former Libertarian candidate for Senate, is announcing a role as Campaign Manager for Bob White, the chairman of the Republican Liberty Caucus of Florida (RLCFL), who will face off against longtime Florida politician Adam Putnam for Scott’s job.
“Many of you could be very surprised that I decided to accept the position of Campaign Manager for the Bob White for Florida Governor campaign. I wanted to send out an email explaining my actions and why YOU should support Bob in his run for governor,” Snitker wrote in a statement.
“After the 2016 election I made a decision to focus my efforts on policy and had decided against taking an active role in campaigns. I have been disappointed the last several election cycles and focusing my effort on the Liberty First Network and policy felt like a better vehicle for me to advance liberty in Florida.”
Snitker outlines reasons for supporting White, noting his support of Snitker’s Liberty First Network, stating that “Bob has stood side by side with us in Tallahassee without falter.”
“I always thought that Bob would be a great candidate. I just never thought that Bob would ever consider running for public office. However, at the end of this last session he came to me with an idea to do something big to send a message that the people want their voice back in our state capitol. I was ready to fight next to Bob in this run the same way he had fought next to me for all of these years.
“As the campaign moves forward, that motivation grows more and more. Every day he proves that he is a principled candidate that means what he says. He will bring important issues to the forefront and has the charisma and leadership we need.”
Snitker has been a long time supporter of The Dispatch and appears to be primed for the next battle and unseat the establishment politics of Tallahassee, this time with a different party label.
