A national construction industry trade association is endorsing attorney Javier Enriquez in his run for House District 114.

The Associated Builders and Contractors Florida East Coast Chapter (ABC FEC) put its support behind Enriquez, a Miami Republican. Enriquez is challenging incumbent Democratic state Rep. Javier Fernandez for the seat.

ABC FEC represents nearly 21,000 members of the commercial construction industry including general contractors, subcontractors and suppliers.

The group is in favor of “lower taxes, free enterprise and reasonable regulation” and provides construction industry training in Florida.

“We are pleased to support Javier Enriquez,” said Peter M. Dyga, president and CEO of ABC FEC.

“Javier shares our commitment to free enterprise and free markets. We are confident we can count on him to advocate policies in Tallahassee that promote economic growth and greater opportunity for businesses and families across the state. We look forward to working with him.”

Enriquez thanked the group for their endorsement in a statement.

“I’m honored to have ABC’s support,” he said. “I share their values and commitment to freedom and hard work, and I look forward to working with them to make sure Florida’s economy stays strong.”

Enriquez has outraised Fernandez so far this cycle. The two are set to square off in the general election Nov. 6.
