Orlando.– State Sen. Darren Soto earned the endorsement of Congressman Scott Peters of California (CA-52). Mr. Peters serves on the House Armed Services Committee and the House Judiciary Committee.

The project created many jobs through major infrastructure projects and the cleanup of San Diego’s beaches and bays.
“Senator Darren Soto is a proven leader who understands that we must fight to create high-quality jobs and expand economic opportunity in a way that leaves no one behind. Darren is a true public servant with a humble, hardworking approach that we need more of in Congress,” said Congressman Scott Peters. “As a member of the New Democrat Coalition I am proud to endorse Darren Soto for Congress, and look forward to fighting with him to bring real progress for central Florida and all of America.”

He recently helped secure $15 million in funding to contribute to the construction of a high-tech sensor manufacturing facility in Kissimmee. He also assisted in bringing $25 million for the development of the Valencia College – Poinciana campus.
“I am eager to work with Scott Peters in Congress and greatly appreciate his support of my candidacy,” said Sen. Darren Soto. “Scott and I are similar in that we are about action not just talk. We like to solve problems and bring coalitions of people together to get results.”
