CRESTVIEW, Florida — The Central Florida Hotel and Lodging Association has endorsed Wayne Harris’s bid for the District 4 House of Representatives.
Harris is one of only a handful of non-Central Florida candidates the group is supporting.
“I am grateful to have the support of this important group,” Harris said. “Their concerns line up very well with the hospitality and tourism industry that makes up a large part of District 4’s economy, and I look forward to working with them."
One of Central Florida’s largest and most influential trade groups, the Central Florida Hotel and Lodging Association’s membership includes nearly 80 percent of the more than 118,000 hotel rooms in Orange, Seminole and Osceola counties. Almost 500 related organizations that do business with the hospitality and tourism industries are also affiliated with the group.
