Adam Putnam, currently Florida’s agriculture commissioner and possible gubernatorial candidate down the road, endorsed Mitt Romney today.

“Mitt Romney is a tested conservative and a proven leader,” Putnam said in a statement. “With him in the White House, we can regain our standing abroad and repair our economy at home. Three years into President Obama’s term, it is clear that his policies have failed the country. Onerous regulations are burdening businesses, overspending has threatened our credit and unemployment remains dangerously high. Florida has felt the effects of these failed policies more than many other states, and we can’t afford to continue down the same path. Mitt Romney knows how the economy works – he spent his life in the private sector and has the knowledge and the plan to put Americans back on the path to prosperity.”
