Tallahassee — Today, Rep. Dennis Baxley, Speaker Pro Tem of the Florida House and Candidate for Senate District 3, officially qualified in the race for state senate. At his side were Sen. Carey Baker and Rep. Frank Attkisson, who filed the required paperwork for Baxley to qualify officially as a candidate.

"Dennis Baxley will best represent the people of District 3," said Baker. "I've observed Dennis throughout his years of public service, from his time as Mayor of Belleview and throughout his four terms as a State Representative. Dennis knows the people. He's one of them and can relate to their needs. I look forward to serving with him in the Florida Senate."

Rep. Frank Attkisson joined Sen. Baker in filing the paperwork for Baxley.

"I've known Dennis for many years," said Attkisson, "and I couldn't think of a better Senator for this district. Dennis cares about the core values of our state and our nation. He will stand up for the family; he will stand up against the special interests; he will stand up for Florida. He is the only choice for this job."

"It's official," said Baxley. "We're ready to roll. I have a great team in place already, and it continues to grow every day. Throughout the 13 counties of this senate district, I've received nothing but encouragement and support. I look forward to the Republican primary on June 5 and to the general election later that month."

Baxley's qualifying follows a week of notable endorsements, including endorsements from Sen. Steve Wise and Sen. Carey Baker, the National Rifle Association, 19 local elected officials in Marion County, the Republican Committeeman and Committeewoman in Baker County, and the Dixie County Republican Executive Committee.
