Chip Simmons, Republican candidate for Escambia County Sheriff, has received the endorsement of Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody.

    David Alexander is just as good of a choice . I don’t need some other political hack in another government job telling me who they are endorsing. I know Chip Simmons personally and he is an excellent candidate too.
