CRESTVIEW — The Building Industry Association of Okaloosa and Walton Counties is endorsing Republican candidate Wayne Harris for the Florida House of Representatives' District 4 seat.
The BIA — which has over 500 Northwest Florida members — is a professional organization of builders, developers, and associates affiliated with the Florida Home Builders Association and the National Association of Home Builders. Its key objective is to promote and protect Northwest Florida home ownership opportunities.
“Our board of directors passed a motion in support of Wayne Harris because of his experience and involvement in our community,” BIA President Chris Taylor said. “As a county commissioner, a 27-year veteran of the Air Force, and former executive director of the Crestview Area Chamber of Commerce, he knows what our area needs."
Harris, who seeks to serve the seat of Matt Gaetz, who is running for the Florida Senate, said he appreciates the support.
“I look forward to working with them to fight for state policies that will help the construction industry continue to create the jobs and business growth that make such an impact in our community," he said.
