“We’re proud to announce AIF’s 2026 General Election endorsements for Florida House candidates,” said AIF President and CEO Brewster Bevis. “These endorsements add to the strong slate of candidates we have supported throughout this election cycle—leaders who understand the challenges facing Florida’s employers and are committed to fostering economic growth, expanding opportunity, and helping keep lower costs for hardworking Floridians. We are confident these candidates will work tirelessly to strengthen Florida’s business climate, protect our state’s economic competitiveness, and ensure Florida remains a place where families, workers, and job creators can thrive. Voters can feel confident in the leadership and vision of these candidates and casting a ballot for them as they head to the polls this November.”

AIF’s Center for Political Strategy, launched in late 2023 with the goal of ensuring pro-business candidates – both Republican and Democrat – are elected to the Florida Legislature, plays an integral role in AIF’s endorsement process. Through the Center, candidates for state senate and house races were interviewed regarding their motivations for seeking office, priorities if elected, and stances on issues important to Florida businesses, helping to determine those who would be the most effective and reliable advocates for the business community if elected.

AIF does not endorse in every race and does not endorse in races that are unopposed.
