Top Trump ally Roger Stone endorses James Judge in Florida’s 15th Congressional District

The top Trump ally and confidante is supporting James Judge after Judge answered President Trump’s call to challenge RINO Rep. Laurel Lee (R-FL).

TAMPA, Fla. – One of President Donald Trump’s top allies endorsed James Judge on Monday in the Republican primary for Florida’s 15th Congressional District.

Roger Stone, a longtime friend, ally and confidante of Trump whose reputation as a political operator precedes him, says Republican primary voters in FL-15 should vote for James Judge on Aug. 20.

“I’ve known James for a couple of years now, and I know he’s on board with the MAGA agenda, which is what we need out of our Republican Congressmen and women,” said Stone. “Laurel Lee has been disloyal to President Trump and backed Ron DeSantis in his loser campaign for president. Now she says she supports Trump, but the fact is she’ll say whatever is politically convenient. James is a Trump supporter through and through, and I trust that he’ll work with the President to drain the Washington swamp and support the 47 Agenda.”

Judge, a Christian, conservative Coast Guard veteran and small business owner, thanked Stone for the endorsement.

“Roger is a once-in-a-generation legend in the world of Republican politics,” said Judge. “I’m proud to call him a friend, and I’m grateful for his endorsement in my race against Laurel Lee, who not only betrayed President Trump and the MAGA agenda, but more importantly betrayed her constituents in this district, who overwhelmingly support President Trump. She wants to pretend to be on President Trump’s side now, but the damage is already done.”

In Late March, Trump called for a challenger to step up and run against Lee.

Judge answered that call.

According to FEC reports, Lee has taken hundreds of special interest contributions, a number of which are from enemies of Trump, the MAGA agenda and the political right, including Facebook and Google. Lee is also an ally of disgraced former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

“In her first term in Congress, Laurel Lee has already sold out to special interests,” said Judge. “She also just rolled over to Democrats and voted to give billions of taxpayer dollars that we don’t have to foreign countries as part of a bill that doesn’t even close the wide open southern border. We cannot keep electing Republicans like this and expect different results.”
