BusinessForce endorses Republican Sam Killebrew in HD 41

Killebrew background

Following a comprehensive and deliberate selection process, BusinessForce endorsed a former member of MyRegion.org and current small business owner, Republican Sam Killebrew for Florida House District 41.

BusinessForce is the political action arm of the Central Florida Partnership. Its goal is to affect positive change in Central Florida through regional public policy advocacy and by encouraging and supporting candidates for public office who, as public officials, will embrace free enterprise and sound, responsible business practices in government.

“With over 40 years of experience as a small-business man, 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 hardworking 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 HD 41 seat is currently occupied by Rep. John Wood, who is leaving due to term limits.
