Attorney and veteran Ron DeSantis continues to gain the support of conservatives at the national level as he runs in a crowded Republican primary for a new congressional seat ranging from the First Coast to Volusia County. On Tuesday, Citizens United Political Victory Fund (CUPVF) announced they were backing DeSantis and contributing $5,000 to his campaign. Citizens United is best known for its successful appeal to the Supreme Court on campaign finance laws.  

“As a veteran, Ron DeSantis lives his life by a creed that embodies the founding principles of our nation,” said David Bossie, the president of Citizens United. “As a true conservative, Ron will bring bold leadership to Washington at a time when our beloved country so desperately needs it. Ron will be guided by his core beliefs in Congress, and he will not get weak-kneed when it comes time to take the difficult votes it will require to get America’s fiscal house in order. I urge all voters to support Ron DeSantis on August 14th.”
