โ€œThis really was a once in a decade opportunity, where each elected Cabinet position was up for re-election; absent any solidified incumbent, โ€œ said Suzanne Graham, FHB PAC Chair. โ€We successfully interviewed a dozen of the major candidates for statewide office. We believe these individuals are best suited to deliver an environment where Floridians can successfully pursue their dream of home ownership.โ€

According to Matovina, โ€œit is not often when we can identify someone who understands how to balance the necessary ingredients of less regulation, a dynamic workforce, storm resiliency, a sound environment, fraud enforcement and affordability. The FHB PAC did an excellent job in their selection of candidates who not only demonstrate an understanding of critical issues to the industry, but also the ability to effectuate public policy towards the fulfillment of that favorable environment.โ€

Candidates offer their gratitude for the endorsement given by FHB PAC:
