Tallahassee, Fla. – The Associated Industries of Florida (AIF) today announced the endorsement of Republican candidate Ryan Gill for Florida House District 68 in the 2026 election cycle.

 

“AIF is proud to endorse Ryan Gill, a sixth-generation Floridian, cattle rancher, and proven community leader who truly understands what it takes to run a business in Florida,” said AIF President and CEO Brewster Bevis. “From managing a multi-generational family ranch to his leadership on local boards and conservation efforts, Ryan will bring real-world experience to the Legislature. He knows firsthand how smart policies—not burdensome regulations—help businesses grow, create jobs, and strengthen communities across our state.”

 

“I’m honored to have the support of AIF,” said Gill. “As someone whose family has worked the same land for over a century, I understand the importance of preserving opportunity for the next generation. Our community was built on hard work, personal responsibility, and a strong local economy. In Tallahassee, I’ll fight to not only protect what we hold dear, but to also make Florida more affordable to ensure our state remains the best place in the country to live, work, and raise a family.”
