Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R-FL) presidential campaign announced Wednesday that he gained 35 more endorsements from lawmakers and local leaders in South Carolina.

The new endorsements add to the 15 he already received from state legislators ahead of a South Carolina campaign stop in late June, bringing his endorsement total in the state to 50. The new additions include Rep. Joe Bustos (R-SC), two sheriffs, several county council members and county clerks, six school board members, and five former officials, Fox Carolina reported.

“Governor DeSantis has a forward-looking vision to reverse the decline of this nation and get our economy back on track for working for families in South Carolina and across the country,” Bustos said. “As a fellow veteran, Ron DeSantis uniquely understands the service and sacrifice of our military, veterans, and their families, and I am proud to endorse him to be the next commander-in-chief and president of the United States.”

So far, the Florida governor has nabbed support from 275 state legislators nationwide. The 50 South Carolina endorsements will come in handy down the road, considering the southern state is one of the first to vote in the Republican primaries.

“Governor DeSantis is a leader who delivered the most conservative agenda in the nation in Florida, cutting taxes, providing economic relief for working families, protecting personal freedoms, supporting law enforcement, and fighting for parents’ rights,” said Tega Cay Mayor Pro Temp Tom Hyslip. “As president of the United States, he will get the job done and deliver those same results for the American people.”

DeSantis’s previous endorsements in South Carolina came from 11 state House representatives and four state senators.
