Tallahassee, Fla. – The Associated Industries of Florida (AIF) today announced the endorsement of Republican Emily Duda Buckley for House District 38 for the 2026 election cycle.
“As a fifth generation Floridian with deep roots in our state’s business and agriculture communities, Emily Duda Buckley has a unique understanding of what is needed to help keep Florida’s industries thriving,” said AIF President and CEO Brewster Bevis. “With conservative principles that closely align with AIF’s priorities, we believe she will be a strong ally in the Florida Legislature who will fight for both Florida’s families and job creators. That’s why AIF is proud to endorse her campaign today.”
“For over a century, my family has called Florida home and building our business in Seminole County was no coincidence,” said Duda Buckley. “Supporting Florida’s local businesses and the people behind them has been the focus of my professional life. I’ve seen how a strong, stable business environment fuels opportunity, while red tape and excessive taxes hinder economic growth. That’s why I’m honored to be endorsed by the Associated Industries of Florida (AIF), a leading voice for job creators across our state. In the State House, I’ll stay focused on what matters most: strengthening families, supporting small businesses, and preserving the freedoms and values that make Florida the best place to live, work, and raise a family.”
Known as “The Voice of Florida Business” in the Sunshine State, Associated Industries of Florida (AIF) has represented the principles of prosperity and free enterprise before the three branches of state government since 1920. A voluntary association of diversified businesses, AIF was created to foster an economic climate in Florida conducive to the growth, development, and welfare of industry and business and the people of the state.
