The U.S. Chamber of Commerce announced its endorsement of Republican Scott Singer for Florida’s 25th Congressional District seat through a press release this week.
"The U.S. Chamber is pleased to announce our support and endorsement for Mayor Scott Singer for Florida’s 25th Congressional District," Vice President and Managing Director, Regional Government Affairs Moore Hallmark said. "Mayor Singer has been a champion for Boca Raton by lowering taxes, cutting regulations, and supporting growth and strengthening the community. We are proud to stand with Scott and look forward to working together in the 120th Congress."
Singer was the mayor of Boca Raton from 2018 to 2026.
According to its release, the U.S. Chamber supports candidates who "drive innovation, grow the economy, and create opportunities for American businesses and workers."
The U.S. Chamber (USCC), founded in 1912, is the world's largest business organization advocating for free-market policies that create jobs and economic growth.
Singer is running against Democratic incumbent Jared Moskowitz, Libertarian candidate Peter Jassenoff, and NPA candidate Michaelangleo Hamilton in District 25 in November. District 25 stretches from Delray Beach in Palm Beach County to Miami Beach in Miami-Dade County in South Florida.
Boca Raton is also part of CD 25.
The USCC's support follows endorsements from President Donald Trump and the Republican Jewish Coalition earlier this month. Singer has also been endorsed by Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, U.S. Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-FL), and several local officials including Surfside Mayor Shlomo Danzinger, Delray Beach Mayor Tom Carney, Bal Harbour Mayor Seth Salvar, Bay Harbor Islands Mayor Issac Salver, Deerfield Beach Mayor, Highland Beach Mayor Natasha Moore, and Golden Beach Mayor Glenn Singer.
Singer's biggest competition, Moskowitz, won his Democratic primary with 63.5% of the vote over challenger Oliver Larkin and is arguably one of party's most visible congressional lawmakers. Singer had a bit of a tighter victory over four candidates after winning 31.4% of the vote in the Republican race.
The general election is Nov. 3.
