Congratulations Eric on these latest endorsements. We are proud of the dedicated and ethical campaign that you and your wife Carrie have run, and we look forward to seeing you represent Central Florida in Tallahassee next year.

Great Endorsement for Scott Plakon

Scott Plakon, who is running for the District 37 State House seat, has been endorsed by the National Federation of Independent Business. (View the press release here).

The NFIB is the nation's leading small-business advocacy association. Founded in 1943, the NFIB gives small and independent business owners a voice in shaping the public policy issues that affect their businesses. This is an endorsement that is particularly important to Scott because he has been a small business owner for most of his career and has seen firsthand many of the opportunities and challenges that small business owners face on a daily basis.

As we approach the August 26th Republican Primary, the Plakon team is refocusing their fundraising efforts now that Scott has a Republican opponent. Please help if you can - donations in any amount will be greatly appreciated (maximum allowed by Florida law is $500 per person or business entity). To contribute, please go to www.scottplakon.com/contribute or call 407-792-8190.

Next Generation Florida is proud to endorse Scott Plakon for the District 37 seat and congratulates him on this excellent endorsement.

Edgewood Loves Eric Eisnaugle

We are thrilled to announce that Eric Eisnaugle has been endorsed by the City of Edgewood Mayor, Michael Teague, and every member of the Edgewood City Council, Judy Beardslee, Jim Bozeman, Dr. Malcolm Henley, Dr. Neil Powell, and David Willis in his campaign for State Representative for District 40.

“I have been impressed with Eric Eisnaugle. He understands the issues facing Edgewood and the rest of District 40, and is the kind of guy who will get things done. The City of Edgewood and the Orlando community need a leader like Eric in Tallahassee,” said Mayor Teague.

Judy Beardslee, Edgewood City Council President, stated “Eric Eisnaugle is the right person to protect our community’s conservative values. Eric is honest, principled, and running for the right reasons. We can all trust Eric to be a passionate advocate for us and Central Florida.”

“Eric has the right values, the right work ethic, and the qualifications to represent the Citizens of Edgewood and the rest of District 40. That’s why I am voting for Eric and asking my friends and neighbors to do the same,” said Councilman Bozeman.

“I am honored to have the support of Mayor Teague and the City of Edgewood Council Members, and look forward to working with them to make our community an even better place to live, work, and raise a family,” said Eric.

Yet ANOTHER great endorsement for Eric Eisnaugle!

We are proud to announce yet another great endorsement for Eric Eisnaugle, further cementing his status as the front-runner in the House District 40 race.

The National Federation of Independent Business, Florida’s leading small-business advocacy association, issued a press release on April 30^th announcing its endorsement of Eric Eis­naugle.

NFIB is the nation’s leading small-business advocacy association, with offices in Washington, D.C. and all 50 state capitals. Founded in 1943, NFIB’s mission is to promote and pro­tect the right of their members to own, operate and grow their businesses, and the organization directs a powerful network of grassroots activists.

“As a business attorney, Eisnaugle spends his days defending business in Florida and under­stands the trials and tribulations of operating a small business here,” NFIB/Florida Executive Director Bill Herrle said. “Eisnaugle believes in lower taxes, less government and fiscal re­straint, many of the same principles that guide NFIB and our members, so he’d be a strong ally for us in the Legislature.”

Eric’s message of meaningful tax relief and reform and reducing property insur­ance rates clearly struck a chord with NFIB’s mission of supporting small businesses, just as it did with the Florida Chamber of Commerce, which endorsed Eric in March, and other important advocacy groups in Florida.

“I am honored to have earned the endorsement of NFIB because small businesses are the back­bone of our economy and an important source of jobs in Florida,” Eric said. “Creating a business-friendly climate in order to attract higher paying jobs is a top priority of my cam­paign.”

Central Florida Representatives Endorse Eisnaugle

Today, five members of the Central Florida Republican Delegation to the Florida House, Representatives Frank Attkisson, Chris Dorworth, Bryan Nel­son, Steve Precourt, and David Simmons, announced their endorsement of Eric Eisnaugle for State Representative, District 40.

 

Representative Steve Precourt stated, “I know both Andy Gardiner and Eric Eisnaugle well.  Eric shares Andy Gardiner’s conservative values and will continue to fight for the things that Andy has championed over the last eight years.  I am sure that the entire Central Florida Republican delegation looks forward to Eric joining us in our efforts to improve the quality of life in our great State.”

 

Representative Nelson said, “I have known Eric and his wife Carrie for the last several years and have been impressed with their core values.  Eric is an exceptional leader who understands the need to address the increase in juvenile and gang-related crime and has the qualifications to get the job done.”

 

Representative Frank Attkisson stated, “I know that Eric Eisnaugle is a true, principled conser­vative.  We need Eric’s leadership in the Florida House.”

 

 “Eric is a pro-business conservative and one of the hardest working people I know.  I intend to help him get elected because he’s the right guy for the job.  He will serve the voters of District 40 well,” added Representative Dorworth.  Representative Simmons noted, “Eric Eisnaugle is an excellent candidate and will represent us well in the Florida House.”

 

“I am honored to have the support of these Central Florida Representatives, and look forward to working with them to tackle challenges like reducing crime, reforming our property tax and in­surance systems, improving education, and stimulating Florida’s economy” said Eric Eisnaugle.

 

Next Generation Florida congratulates Eric on these significant endorsements.  Part of the reason we are so enthusiastically supporting Eric’s campaign is because we know he will work well with the other members of the Central Florida Republican Delegation and be a great representative for our area.  These endorsements are proof of that.
