Republican Paul Renner Endorsed by
Congressman Ron DeSantis for House District 15
Jacksonville, Fla. Republican Paul Renner today announced Congressman Ron DeSantis has
endorsed him in his campaign for Florida House District 15, which includes part of Duval County.
As a fellow Navy veteran, Paul Renner has defended our country overseas and is well-versed on the
principles that make America unique, said Congressman DeSantis. As a state representative, he will
protect and defend our Constitution, champion conservative values and lead the fight for limited
government in Tallahassee.
I am truly humbled to accept the endorsement of Congressman DeSantis, a fellow U.S. Navy veteran
and conservative, said Renner. If given the opportunity to serve our local community in Tallahassee, I
pledge to be a principled, conservative leader dedicated to working with local businesses to bolster our
economy, stimulate job growth and reduce government waste and over regulation.
Since launching his campaign to represent Florida House District 15, Renner has received the
endorsements of State Senator John Thrasher (R-St. Augustine), Jacksonville Sheriff John Rutherford
and JAXBIZ.
Renner was raised in Jacksonville and is a graduate of Davidson College and the University of Florida,
Levin College of Law. He served 23-years in the US Navy on both active duty and in the reserves,
including deployments in support of combat operations during Operation Desert Storm in 1991 and in
Afghanistan in 2011. His personal awards include the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, Navy
Commendation Medal and Navy Achievement Medal, among others. He also served as an assistant state
attorney, earning a strong reputation for his successful efforts to prosecute serious felony offenses.
Renner is an attorney and partner at Milam Howard Nicandri Dees and Gillam, P.A., where he
represents many local businesses. He is active in the community and has served as President of the
Jacksonville Lawyers Chapter of the Federalist Society and as General Counsel to the Duval County
Republican Party. He also participates in a number of civic and professional organizations, including
his Rotary and the Westside Business Leaders Association. Paul attends Southpoint Community
