Outgoing U.S. Rep. Frederica Wilson endorsed Miami-Dade Commissioner Oliver Gilbert to take her seat in Florida’s 24th congressional district in a literal passing of the torch ceremony in Miami Gardens on Monday.
“My word is my bond, so if I’m endorsing you, everyone in District 24 should be endorsing you. God bless you,” Wilson said to Gilbert in front of the crowd packing the banquet hall of Grace United Community Church.
