Giuliani Campaign Press Release - Giuliani Campaign Kicks Off Viva Rudy In Florida

The Rudy Giuliani Presidential Committee today announced Viva Rudy, a coalition of Hispanic voters supporting Mayor Giuliani for President. U.S. Representative Luis Fortuño, National Co-Chair of Viva Rudy, and Florida State Representative Rene Garcia, Chair of Florida Viva Rudy, joined other members and supporters at events in Orlando and Miami.

"Rudy is the candidate Hispanic voters in Florida and across the country are counting on to pursue conservative policies that will strengthen their families and their communities," said Fortuño. "Rudy knows the importance of growing the economy, cutting taxes for families and helping small businesses succeed. We can count on the Mayor to be a great President."
