Tallahassee, Fla. – The Associated Industries of Florida (AIF) today announced the endorsement of Republican candidate Dr. Ralph Massullo for Senate District 11 in an upcoming special election resulting from the vacancy created by the appointment of Blaise Ingoglia as Florida’s Chief Financial Officer.
“As a physician, a business owner, and a former state representative, Ralph has been a leader in his community for more than two decades and has served his neighbors admirably,” said AIF President and CEO Brewster Bevis. “During his time in the legislature, he proved he will fight for the best interests of not only his fellow Floridians, but the business community as well. Ralph understands the importance of ensuring Florida’s economy continues to thrive, so its residents can prosper, and that’s why AIF is proud to extend our support to his Senate campaign.”
“Florida’s business community is the engine of our state’s prosperity—driving innovation, creating jobs, and powering the economic freedom that makes Florida a model for the nation,” said Massullo. “I am proud of the work the legislature has done to make Florida the best place to start and run a business, and I am grateful for AIF’s support.”
Known as “The Voice of Florida Business” in the Sunshine State, 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.
