Former Congressman Ted Yoho endorses Marshall Rawson for State House

Press release from Marshall Rawson for Florida State House

HAMPTON, Fla. – Candidate Marshall Rawson has announced the endorsement of former Florida Congressman Ted Yoho in the race for House District 10. 

“Marshall Rawson is a conservative fighter with a backbone to get things done for his constituents in Tallahassee,” said Congressman Ted Yoho. “Any Floridian can take a look at Marshall’s track record and know that he is a tried-and-true public servant and America First conservative. Marshall will stand up to the radical rhetoric of the Left and ensure that our communities are safe, our freedoms stay intact, and that we preserve our agricultural industry. I fully stand behind Marshall’s campaign and endorse him to be the next State Representative for District 10 in the Florida House.”

In 2012, Ted Yoho was elected to the U.S. Congress representing Florida’s 3rd Congressional District. As a member of both the Foreign Affairs and Agriculture Committees, as well as Chairman and Ranking Member of the Asia-Pacific and Non-Proliferation Subcommittee, Congressman Yoho gained unique insight into geopolitics around the world. A staunch believer in term limits, Yoho honored his term-limit pledge and did not seek re-election after completing his 8th year in Congress. Congressman Yoho founded Capitol Concepts Consulting after leaving Congress and works with several business development clients and ventures. Prior to serving in Washington, Yoho was a practicing large animal veterinarian, serving North Central Florida for over 30 years. During his practice tenure, he owned and operated five different veterinary clinics and accumulated over 50 years of experience in the agriculture industry.

“I am excited and honored to have Congressman Ted Yoho’s endorsement in my race to serve in the Florida House of Representatives,” said Marshall Rawson. “Congressman Yoho has been a bold leader when it comes to the strengthening of the U.S. on the world’s stage, an advocate of Florida agricultural growers, and in Congress, he was not afraid to vote alone when necessary. We need more independent conservatives in Tallahassee, and I look forward to being that for District 10. His statement of support means a great deal to me as I fight for Florida’s future. Given the opportunity to serve in the State House, I promise to be a strong advocate for our farmers and ranchers and will champion our founding principles and the way of life that we cherish here in North Florida.”

Rawson is a native Floridian and owns and operates Free State Growers, an agricultural business. Previously, he served as a Washington aide and intern to Republican Congressman Paul Broun, as a legal assistant to Secretary of State Cord Byrd, and as a legal intern for the Florida Department of Agriculture. A dedicated citizen-leader, he has also been an advocate across Florida for various issues, including, but not limited to, immigration reform, state sovereignty, and Florida Conservation. Marshall is the past Chairman of the Greater Melrose Republican Liberty Caucus and currently serves as the North Florida Regional Director of the Republican Liberty Caucus. He also serves as an officer in the Florida Guard and has been deployed to the Texas border to help stop illegal immigration. Marshall and his wife, Megan, have been married for 8 years and have five children.
