Florida Citrus Mutual backs @ByronDonalds for Governor. Together, we will work to keep Florida citrus and our broader agriculture industry strong.

[Byron Donalds @ByronDonalds]

Florida’s citrus industry is central to our economy and identity.

We are not only synonymous with the orange — growers work day-in and day-out to export grapefruit, tangerines and other citrus products across the nation and the world.

I’m honored to earn the endorsement of Florida Citrus Mutual and will always advocate for citrus growers and the entire agricultural community.

Research, innovation & growers' perseverance are moving Florida's citrus production in the right direction, despite impacts from this year’s historic freezes, citrus greening & past hurricanes. Hope for the future of Florida citrus is on the horizon. >> https://t.co/pf3dCjSwg3
