Following a comprehensive and deliberative candidate selection process, the Florida Chamber of Commerce has announced candidate endorsements for Governor and Cabinet positions, as well as legislative primary races. The Florida Chamber Political Institute (FCPI) held five candidate interview sessions across the state and interviewed more than 100 non-incumbent candidates – in addition to reviewing each candidate’s completed questionnaire. Incumbent candidates were evaluated on numerous factors, including legislator grades on the Florida Chamber’s Legislative Report Card.
