The Florida Chamber of Commerce is again uniting Florida’s business community to help make Florida more competitive, and today endorsed a bipartisan list of 19 additional candidates running for election this year.
These candidates underwent a thorough vetting by the business community as part of the Florida Chamber Political Institute’s Candidate Interview process. Covering five cities over six weeks, more than 80 business organizations joined together to interview over 100 candidates for state legislative office.
“While Florida continues its growth and economic momentum, we need strong leadership committed to championing the policies necessary to further Florida’s global competitiveness, job creation, and a vibrant quality of life,” said Mark Wilson, President and CEO, Florida Chamber of Commerce. “The Florida Chamber has put forth a strategic plan to make Florida a top ten global economy by 2030, as well as create 1.4 million new jobs, and we trust that these candidates will keep us on a pathway to get there.”
The Florida Chamber is proud to stand alongside the following candidates, putting its full 100-plus years of combined political experience behind getting them elected.
