Senate Democratic Leader Al Lawson's Statement on Senate Republican Leadership Partisan Attack


Senate Democratic Leader Al Lawson (D-Tallahassee) on Tuesday issued the following statement following the release of a Senate partisan attack on the President’s signing of landmark healthcare legislation:

“I am deeply concerned that the Republican leadership would actually mislead the public in order to gin up support for their frivolous lawsuit challenging the ability of tens of thousands of Floridians to finally have access to affordable health care.

“We know this is an election season, and desperate candidates often opt for desperate measures, but to suggest that the entire Senate Leadership is on board with opposition to the President’s plan is not only misleading, it’s dead wrong.

“In the Florida Senate, this member of leadership is not part of this expensive exercise in partisan legislative activism. This Democratic Leader is not part of the Republican chorus singing the anti-healthcare mantra.”
