Paul Renner Wins Jacksonville Hob Nob 2014
Straw Poll by 60 Percent of Vote
Jacksonville, Fla. Republican Candidate Paul Renner today announced that he won the straw
poll at the Jacksonville Hob Nob last evening by 60 percent of the vote for his campaign for
Florida House District 15. The joint event by the JAX Chamber and WOKV News 104.5 is the
premiere non-partisan political event of 2014.
Thank you for coming out and supporting our campaign for Florida House District 15 last
night! said Renner. I am honored and humbled to receive the support of our community. The
results of the straw poll further demonstrate how our message of commonsense conservative
leadership is resonating with Republican voters as we head toward the primary on August 26.
My commitment to our community is clear we must promote economic growth and good
paying jobs, while combatting government overreach and excessive regulation, said Renner.
In Tallahassee, I intend to be a strong and consistent conservative leader. Like the oath I took
in the military, in everything I do, I will protect and defend our Constitution that limits
government and protects our liberty. That includes pushing back against the federal government
in favor of more state and local solutions and placing more control in the hands of individuals
and families where it belongs.
