‘We are confident in his commitment to the free market and his willingness to fight to create good-paying jobs.’
The Florida Chamber of Commerce is throwing its support behind Rob Long in the Special Election for House District 90.
A Delray Beach City Commissioner and Vice Mayor, Long has emphasized economic development and public safety as his city’s population grows. He also serves on the Palm Beach Transportation Planning Agency Governing Board, working on key infrastructure upgrades.
“The Florida Chamber of Commerce is pleased to endorse Rob Long as House District 90’s next state representative,” said Florida Chamber President and CEO Mark Wilson.
“Rob has demonstrated a proven record of promoting economic development and infrastructure improvements for the people of Palm Beach County. We are confident in his commitment to the free market and his willingness to fight to create good-paying jobs to make Florida even more competitive.”
In the Legislature, Long says he’ll focus on economic growth, science-based water policy and strengthening Florida’s small business climate.
“As a local business owner, I’m honored to have the support of the Florida Chamber of Commerce in this Special Election,” Long said. “I share their commitment to growing Florida’s economy, supporting local businesses and entrepreneurs, and creating high-quality jobs.”
The Chamber said it will leverage its statewide network and political experience to help elect Long to the House.
Long, Republican nominee Maria Zack and no-party candidate Karen Yeh are competing for the right to succeed late Democratic Rep. Joe Casello, whose death in July prompted a Special Election.
HD 90 is a Democratic-leaning district that spans a coastal portion of Palm Beach County, including Boynton Beach, Delray Beach and part of Highland Beach.
The General Election is on Dec. 9.
