1. As part of his statewide "Jobs for Florida" tour, Kendrick visited 12 cities in just four days. He traveled from South Florida to Tallahassee to Tampa to Indian River County talking to middle class Floridians about his vision for creating jobs across this state and building a strong and sustainable Florida economy. As Kendrick said, “You can bet I will continue to work hard to get the state's economy working again for Florida families."

2. Even though Kendrick needed 112,476 signatures to get on the ballot for U.S. Senate, he submitted 145,000. That includes petition signatures from counties all across Florida. And, just last week, the Division of Elections verified the ballots and made it official!
3. Kendrick has written op-eds for newspapers all across the state. This includes two in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, and one each in the Tampa Tribune, Panama City News Herald, and Florida Today. He also was a guest columnist on FiveThirtyEight.com. Click here to read Kendrick’s editorials (http://www.kendrickmeek.com/index.php/issues/op-eds/).
4. Kendrick is the only major candidate for U.S. Senate in Florida that has not called for the repeal of health care reform that President Obama signed into law. One of his Republican opponents even featured “Repeal Obamacare” on the homepage of his campaign website.
5. Last week, we released a brand new video that highlights Kendrick's journey for the U.S. Senate. Click here to watch the video (http://www.kendrickmeek.com/page/s/video).
6. The pundits and press alike are saying the same thing – if Kendrick wants to win, he needs money to go up on TV and share his story with Florida. You can help make sure that happens Click here to make a contribution today – even as little as $5 makes a difference (https://donate.kendrickmeek.com/page/contribute/20100416).
