The business community continues to rally behind Gov. Rick Scott as the Florida Retail Federation (FRF) endorsed the Republican for a second term on Tuesday.

Gov. Rick Scott has a tremendous record of helping Floridians create jobs and succeed in the workplace. We enthusiastically endorse him for re-election, said Rick McAllister, the president and CEO of the Florida Retail Federation. In making this endorsement, FRF is expressing its confidence that under Gov. Scotts leadership during his second term, Florida will continue to be the premier state to do business.

McAllister pointed toward job growth in the retail sector over 2013, noting one out of three new jobs created in the Sunshine State was in retail.

Retail growth means retail jobs, and retailers are proud to help Gov. Scott reach his goal of creating 700,000 jobs in seven years, McAllister added. It is clear that Gov. Scott is the best choice for Florida. Lets keep working together to continue our unmatched track record of economic growth and job creation.
