New Endorsed Candidates 

State Rep. Debbie Mayfield (SD-19) 

In the Florida House, Rep. Mayfield has been instrumental on issues such as Certificate of Need (CON) reform which allows for a personal option in health care and combats health care monopiles. In the Senate, Rep. Mayfield will continue to take on burdensome regulations and occupational licensing rules to make Florida’s workforce freer and a better place for businesses to invest.  

Nathan Boyles (HD-03) 

Boyles will bring his knowledge as a business owner and county commissioner to the Statehouse and fight for fewer regulations, spending reform, and other issues that impact Florida’s businesses. His background gives him a unique perspective on how to be an ally for pro-growth policies and limit government waste.
