Candidate Interviews

The Florida Chamber Political Institute researches each candidate extensively and interviews every single candidate running for office (that’s hundreds each cycle) and compares their stance on issues to the Six Pillars and their actual voting record. This allows Florida’s business leaders to see where each candidate stands on the issues before supporting them

FCPI members interviewed House and Senate candidates from across the state during the 2010 candidate interviews:

May 11-12, 2010
Miramar Beach

May 25-26, 2010
Tampa

June 15-16, 2010
Orlando

June 29-30, 2010
West Palm Beach

July 14-15, 2010
Tallahassee

July 27-28, 2010
Miami

Candidates completed a questionnaire prior to the interview and FCPI members had 30 minutes to ask questions and participate in group discussion. These interviews were a great opportunity for members to meet candidates, hear about their campaigns and discuss pertinent issues.
