Share

Stan McClain, state representative from Florida’s 23rdDistrict, has received the AFP economic award for being a champion of economic freedom in the sunshine state.

Today, McClain was awarded the Americans for Prosperity-Florida’s Champion of Economic Freedom Award for supporting policies that not only limit government overreach but that also advance free market principles.

On AFP-Florida’s 2018 Legislative Scorecard, McClain scored an A+.

In a statement responding to the recognition, McClain detailed that he appreciated the honor “and the good work AFP-Florida does.” McClain added that “there’s no question that prosperity and economic opportunity could quickly be short-circuited with the wrong policies in place. It’s an honor for me to support legislation that keeps government in check and allows the free market to flourish, and I look forward to continuing to work with AFP-Florida and other like-minded folks as we head into the 2019 session.”

Several members of AFP-Florida visited McClain in his Tallahassee office to congratulate and praise him, his accomplishments and his commitment to economic freedom in Florida.

The Republican state representative has been serving Florida’s 23rd District since being elected in 2016.
