Al Cardenas Needs to be Commended

Al Cardenas, former state Republican chairman, needs to be recognized for his courage to publicly criticize Broward, Pinellas and Pasco County Republican Executive Committee leaders for their early endorsements of candidates before the Primary Elections. Mr. Cardenas was quoted as saying, "I think it's divisive and party activists are really not serving their candidates well." In the absence of any public statements from Carole Jean Jordan, the current chair of the RPOF, it was reassuring to read the strong public comments made by Al Cardenas warning the end result will be a "unity challenge" within party ranks for the November elections. Mr. Cardenas needs to be commended on his courage and commitment to promote party unity but most of all for his strong leadership principals.
