Endorsements

Listed here on this page are candidates who have earned my personal endorsement, and I encourage you to consider being a supporter as well. Some, but not all, are current or former clients of mine. Caffeinated Campaigns & Consulting, LLC only represents candidates who I am willing to endorse. Nothing on this page should be construed to constitute an endorsement by any other person or organization. Note also that the omission of a name does not necessarily imply that I oppose that candidate.

My top two rules for endorsements: 

(1) In partisan races, I will only endorse Republican candidates. If the race is non-partisan, I support candidates who are committed  to fiscal conservative principles, and for judicial races I am looking for strict constructionists who have a strong commitment to ethics and a solid legal background.

(2) I must have met the candidate in person. This is non-negotiable. I believe there is an inherent value in being able to look another human being in the eye, shake hands, and hear the candidate's words directly.

See more details under the Policies link at the top of this page.

The 2012 elections are over. I'll fill in local races and special elections as they come up, but for now, you can assume I will back, in either the Democrat primary or the general election, the following candidates to be named:

• Whoever runs against Bill Nelson for FL Senate in 2018
• Whoever runs against Elizabeth Warren for MA Senate in 2018
• Whoever runs against Alan Grayson for Congress (FL-9) in 2014 
• Whoever runs against Lois Frankel for Congress (FL-22) in 2014 
• Whoever runs against Jeff Ashton for Ninth Circuit State Attorney (Orange and Osceola County, FL) in 2016
• Whoever runs against Scott Randolph for Orange County (FL) Tax Collector in 2016
• Whoever runs against Rick Singh for Orange County (FL) Property Appraiser in 2016
• Whoever runs against Karen Castor Dentel for FL State Representative in 2014

Thinking about throwing your hat in the ring for one of these races? Get in touch with me (sarahrumpf at gmail dot com). Let's see if I can help.

I will also endorse Marco Rubio, Adam Hasner, Sandy Adams, Lydia Gardner, Eric Eisnaugle, and Scott Plakon in any darn race for which they decide to run.
