Joined by Sheen, Reno told the congregation of the First Baptist Church of College Hill that she backed the restoration of civil rights for convicted criminals if elected Florida’s next governor.

“I would like to work with you to build Florida the right way and give all people the opportunity to do their best,” Reno said Sunday to an enthusiastic congregation.

“She’s one of the most impressive public servants I’ve met in my life,” said Sheen, who plays President Josiah Bartlett on NBC’s “The West Wing.”
