The Florida Realtors backed DeSantis on Friday.
“I am grateful to receive the endorsement of the Florida Realtors. Thanks to our bold agenda, Florida’s economy continues to outpace the nation, and our realtors play an important in our continued success,” said DeSantis.
“Governor DeSantis is a true champion of the real estate industry and the professionals who work within it,” said Margy Grant, the CEO of the Florida Realtors. “Whether it was designating us essential at the start of the pandemic, being a vocal advocate for affordable housing solutions, or working hard to protect Florida’s natural resources, the governor clearly recognizes the importance of Realtors and the critical services they provide Floridians.”
U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist, D-Fla., won the Democratic primary to challenge DeSantis last week, easily besting state Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried.
