*For Immediate Release*
Contact: Andrew Shirvell, Political Action Committee Chairman, at (850) 404-3414 or [email protected].
Chairman Andrew Shirvell today issued the following statement:
“Based upon disturbing new information uncovered this week indisputably linking Republican Marshall Rawson to the infamous 2017 hate rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, Florida Voice for the Unborn Political Action Committee (PAC) is publicly calling for Rawson to withdraw from the race for the open House District 10 seat, which spans Baker, Bradford, Columbia, Union, and (part of) Alachua counties in north central Florida.”
Shirvell continued, “Marshall Rawson’s self-admitted, unrepentant participation in the Charlottesville rally – alongside members of the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazis, and others who despise racial minorities, Catholics, and Jews – is disqualifying. Moreover, his legislative campaign is heavily funded by those same unsavory elements.”
Shirvell further remarked, “In this past August’s Republican Primary Election, Rawson was able to defeat his opponent Chase Brannan, the son of Rep. Chuck Brannan, the current House District 10 incumbent who has reached the end of his consecutive term limit. Rep. Brannan has a faithful pro-life voting record and his son, Chase, is also staunchly pro-life. Florida Right to Life, a longtime member of the state’s do-little pro-life establishment, nonetheless chose to give its sole endorsement in the Primary to Rawson, allowing Rawson to improperly tout his supposed pro-life credentials to voters just as early voting got underway – and just as questions about Rawson’s support for fringe ideologies were beginning to surface.”
Shirvell added, “Florida Right to Life’s endorsement of Rawson follows a disturbing pattern. This past January, Florida Right to Life permitted controversial gubernatorial candidate James Fishback and his entourage to attend its dinner in Jacksonville. Florida Right to Life also helped bankroll a march the following day, in which Fishback, a main speaker, repeated incendiary remarks calling for the ‘burning down’ of abortion mills in our state.”
Shirvell continued, “Florida Voice for the Unborn PAC, which was officially registered with the state of Florida on August 4, 2026, did not make any endorsements in legislative races during the Primary. Following Congressman Byron Donalds’ overwhelming win in this year’s Republican gubernatorial contest, Florida Voice for the Unborn PAC proudly endorsed his candidacy on August 31st. Florida Voice for the Unborn PAC also plans to announce further candidate endorsements in other important electoral contests prior to the General Election.”
Shirvell concluded, “In light of the new nauseating revelations concerning Marshall Rawson, Florida Voice for the Unborn PAC will never give him our stamp of approval because he is not authentically pro-life. We also condemn Florida Right to Life’s endorsement of Rawson’s candidacy and strongly urge that organization to immediately rescind its backing so that House District 10 voters are not further misled, especially if Rawson refuses to do the right thing by withdrawing from the race.”
