Kendrick Meek Responds to Jeff Greene Video
Miami Gardens, FL -- Kendrick Meek issued the following statement in response to Jeff Greene's misleading campaign video that claimed he had not succeeded in the real world of hard work:
"I'm running for the Senate to stop Wall Street from ever again wrecking the Florida economy. Jeff Greene profited from the misery of millions of Americans who lost their home equity, if not their homes. That's not the kind of candidate the Democratic party needs, and it's not the kind of senator Florida needs.
"And I want to remind Mr. Greene that before running for office I worked as a baggage handler and a state trooper. In fact, I was number three in the entire state of Florida for DUI arrests one year. I know it's not making billions on the backs of the middle class, but saving lives on our highways is a real job."
