Florida Chamber of Commerce Announces First Round of Legislative Endorsements

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 over eighty current and former legislators running for election this year.

These legislators have a strong track record of securing Florida’s future by voting to advance free enterprise and job creation. These endorsements are based, in large part, on Legislator’s actual grades earned on The Florida Chamber of Commerce Legislative Report Card.

“The Florida Chamber has a long and proven track record of endorsing and electing candidates who stand for the pro-jobs policies necessary to continue Florida’s momentum towards a top 10 global economy,” said Mark Wilson, President and CEO, Florida Chamber of Commerce. “We trust these proven incumbent and former legislators to continue to make Florida’s future a priority by focusing on job creation and further economic opportunity for all Florida families and local businesses.”
