ORLANDO, FL (October 17, 2016) — Following a comprehensive and deliberate candidate selection process, BusinessForce has announced the endorsement of a former member of MyRegion.org and current small business owner, Sam Killebrew (R) for the Florida House, District 41.

“With over 40 years of experience as a small businessman, Sam Killebrew knows what it takes to start and run a successful business,” said Robert Agrusa, Executive Director of BusinessForce. “He has hired hundreds of employees and has seen firsthand the impact that excessive regulations and high taxes have on a business and he will fight tirelessly, through regional collaboration and economic diversification, to grow our economy by creating high paying jobs for Polk County’s hard working families.”

“We are confident that our endorsement of Sam will send a strong signal to our region’s business community that he is worthy of the support of the entire business community as he seeks to serve our region in Tallahassee,” said Chris Stewart, Director of State Government Affairs for the American Resort Development Association and Chairman of the BusinessForce Legislative Committee.

The Florida House District 41 seat is currently occupied by Rep. John Wood who is leaving due to term limits.
