In addition to providing remarks at the press conference, Florida Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Mark Wilson released the following quote in support of Congressman Byron Donalds:

Florida is changing. Florida’s economy and population continue to grow, and in order to keep Florida moving into the next eight years with as much positive growth as the last eight, voters must get to the polls and elect leaders like Byron Donalds. Congressman Donalds has spent his career standing up for Florida’s job creators, small businesses and workers and will fight to enact policies that allow for more high-wage jobs, improve Florida’s education system, and ensure Florida remains the top destination for businesses, families and opportunity. The number one action Floridians can take to help the outcome of this election is to vote, because nothing less than Florida’s future is at stake.”

During his time in the Florida House of Representatives, Byron Donalds was an A-rated legislator on the Florida Chamber of Commerce’s Legislative Report Card with a lifetime grade of 96%. In the Florida Chamber’s most recent statewide poll, Congressman Donalds held an 8-point lead in a potential head-to-head general election contest.
