The Florida Chamber of Commerce has released its 2025 How They Voted publication, Distinguished Advocates, and Legislative Report Card. Keith Koenig, Chairman of CITY Furniture and Volunteer Chair of the Florida Chamber of Commerce, expressed gratitude towards members and partners for their efforts in maintaining Florida’s economic competitiveness. “Advancing the Florida 2030 Blueprint remains our focus,” he stated.

The chamber awarded the 2025 Distinguished Advocate Award to 13 legislators who supported business community priorities. Recipients include Senate President Ben Albritton and several other senators and representatives.

The Legislative Report Card evaluates legislative support for free enterprise. In the 2025 session, the average GPA was 78% across both chambers. The Senate had an average GPA of 84%, while the House averaged 77%. Grades were determined through a transparent process involving the Florida Business Agenda.
