"I'm honored to have this coalition supporting me in my campaign for Congress, and I pledge to always support and have the backs of all of our first responders."
The First Responders for Erika Coalition has released the following statements:
Sheriff Mike Chitwood, Volusia County, FL
"I know Erika, I've seen her commitment to our community for many years and have full confidence that she is the right person to represent us in Washington. Erika Benfield understands the sacrifices our men and women in Blue make each and every day. She will fight for us, which is why she has my full support in her campaign for Congress."
Michael Anstine, Immediate Past President DeBary Volunteer Firemen's Association, DeBary, FL
"I support Erika because while on city council, she voted to support the longest-serving association for fire and public safety, and she has been a long-time attendee of our pancake breakfast fundraisers. She will represent us well as Congresswoman and fight back against big government."
Oscar Negron, Firefighter, Orlando, FL
"I've known Erika from our church youth group. I know her family. She comes from Christian, family-oriented values that make this country the greatest country in the world. She comes from humble beginnings, and her parents are extremely hard workers. That same commitment and drive have been instilled in her, and that's why she succeeds in anything she does. She definitely has my vote. I'm confident in her ability to represent us in Washington."
