“I cannot tell you how proud I am to watch Matt Gaetz in his very first term in Congress become a genuine leader. I knew he was pro-life. I knew he was pro-Israel. I knew that some of the things that truly matter to me as an individual mattered to Matt Gaetz, but I’m proud to see him working with President Trump. I’m proud to see him standing up for the rights of ordinary citizens. I’m proud to see him standing up for American and doing it boldly and effectively. I can’t think of any other freshman Congressman who has had as big an impact as Matt Gaetz has. He is highly respected among his peers, and widely trusted as somebody who is unafraid to stand for the people of his district and the people of America. I’m proud to be a Matt Gaetz supporter,†Governor Huckabee said in a statement.
In response to Governor Huckabee’s endorsement, Rep. Gaetz issued the following statement:
