Supporting agriculture in Florida

Dear Candidate:
Congratulations on your decision to run for the Florida Legislature. The Florida agricultural lobby,
known collectively as the Florida Agriculture Coalition, would like to offer you an opportunity to meet
with our members. The Coalition is comprised of more than thirty individual companies or associations,
encompassing all the producer groups in the state. While the Coalition does not endorse candidates, nor
make political contributions as an organization, individual Coalition members do. Our interview process
provides us with an opportunity to meet you, and you with an opportunity to become better acquainted
with one of the largest economic engines in the state of Florida - agriculture!
