Press release: The Florida Retail Federation (FRF) PAC, the state’s premier trade association representing retailers for over 75 years, today announced its endorsement of Doug Broxson for the Florida Senate. Broxson, a Republican, is running for election in Senate District 1 in Northwest Florida which includes Escambia, Santa Rosa and Okaloosa counties. Broxson currently represents District 3 in the Florida House of Representatives.
“Doug has always been receptive and supportive when FRF has reached out to him regarding effective legislation that would positively impact retailers,†said FRF President/CEO Randy Miller. “We’ve appreciated his help in the House and we are eager to continue working with him as Senator to ensure Florida remains a great state to start and grow a business.â€
“I am honored to have the support of the Florida Retail Federation,†said Broxson. “I look forward to working with them to make sure Florida is the most business-friendly state in the nation by stopping things that make it harder to do business like onerous regulations and higher taxes and fees.â€
As a member of the Florida House of Representatives since 2010, Broxson has focused on issues that are important to the residents of Northwest Florida, including job creation and reigning in government spending, while also playing an important role in helping those counties affected by the BP oil spill. A native Floridian, Broxson is very active in his community as well as local business oriented organizations.
