Congressman Jeff Miller Endorses Neal Dunn for Florida CD2

Panama City, Fla. Republican Candidate Neal Dunn today announced that Congressman Jeff
Miller (R-FL-1) has endorsed his campaign for Florida Congressional District 2.
North Florida needs a conservative who is committed to serving our veterans, shrinking the size
and scope of the federal government and safeguarding our Second Amendment rights, said
Congressman Miller. Neal Dunn shares the same conservative values as many of us in our
community, and he has demonstrated a commitment to the ideals and principles of the Founding
Fathers. I believe his background as a veteran and surgeon makes him uniquely qualified to
represent the Second District of Florida in Congress.
Congressman Miller is a staunch advocate for veterans issues; and, as a veteran, I applaud his
dedication, as well as his accomplishments, said Dr. Dunn. Congressman Miller and I also
agree that our current tax system impedes economic growth, and we must do all that we can to
encourage small business growth, and reduce and remove excessive and burdensome government
regulations. With Congressman Millers support, I look forward to continuing to spread our
conservative message in Congressional District 2 and fighting for a better North Florida.
Since announcing his candidacy for Floridas Congressional District 2, Dr. Dunn has been
endorsed by former U.S. Congressman Steve Southerland, former Speaker Allan Bense, former
Senate President Don Gaetz, former Speaker Will Weatherford, and Representatives Dennis
Baxley, Jay Trumbull and Elizabeth Porter.

for more than 10 years before that. He was the founding president of the Advanced Urology
