ORLANDO, FL, June 10, 2009 – The Florida Chamber of Commerce announced yesterday that Representative Eric Eisnaugle received the Distinguished Advocate Award for 2009. The Florida Chamber, Florida’s largest business group, recognized eleven of the 120 members of the Florida House for their efforts to create a jobs-friendly environment in Florida. Representative Eisnaugle, a freshman legislator, received the award because he “championed legislation to lower insurance assessment costs for Floridians and worked to create a program that would encourage small businesses in Florida to develop high-tech products.”

“The Florida Chamber is proud to acknowledge Representative Eisnaugle for consistently fighting on behalf of Florida’s taxpayers and job creators this session,” said David Daniel, vice president for government affairs at the Florida Chamber of Commerce. “Often times, candidates and public officials allege they are pro-business when campaigning, but fail to follow through on the tough fights. Eric let his actions speak louder than words and it is clear he will be a strong leader for years to come.”

“Our top priority as a state must be to get Florida’s economy moving again. It was an honor to work for policies that will grow jobs in Florida during the 2009 Legislative Session, and I look forward to continuing the fight for jobs in the future,” said Eisnaugle.
