As small businesses in Florida continue to navigate economic uncertainty, the recent elections saw the success of many candidates who have pledged to support small business interests. The NFIB FedPAC and NFIB Florida PAC backed several candidates who secured victories.
Bill Herrle, NFIB Florida Executive State Director, expressed satisfaction with the election outcomes. "We are pleased to see so many pro-small business candidates win their elections, and we are confident that they will prioritize Florida’s Main Street in Washington, D.C. and Tallahassee," he stated. He emphasized the importance of these officials supporting policies that strengthen the economy and maintain Florida's reputation as a favorable place for business.
In federal races, Senator Rick Scott successfully retained his seat in the U.S. Senate. Additionally, incumbents such as Rep. Neal Dunn (FL-02), Rep. Aaron Bean (FL-04), Rep.
