This state-wide PAC consists of NFIB members who have reviewed the candidates.

"Florida's small business owners know the importance of electing candidates that will prioritize the small business economy and we believe this group of candidates will do just that,” stated Bill Herrle, NFIB Florida Executive Director. He emphasized the candidates' understanding of key issues for NFIB members and their commitment to pro-growth policies. "The NFIB Florida PAC is proud to endorse them and we’re confident they will be strong advocates for Florida’s small business owners in the legislature."

The endorsements include candidates for both the Florida Senate and House. Endorsed candidates for the Senate are Tom Leek (District 7), Keith Truenow (District 13), Randy Fine (District 19), and Ed Hooper (District 21).
