Florida Chamber Thanks Pritzker for Jobs
The campaign says Illinois has lost more than $2 billion in taxable income to Florida and will keep expanding to other states.
- The Florida Chamber of Commerce launched two billboards on Chicago's Interstate 55, naming Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker the runner-up "Florida Economic Developer of the Year" to highlight economic migration between the states.
- Last month, the Florida Chamber launched a Times Square campaign naming New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani "Economic Developer of the Year," establishing a pattern of targeting states with progressive tax policies.
- Florida Chamber President and CEO Mark Wilson cited data showing Illinois lost over $2 billion in taxable income to Florida and 100,000 residents, pointing to corporate exits like Citadel moving to Miami as evidence.
- Wilson described the campaign as a "wake-up call" for Illinois residents, expressing hope that Gov. Pritzker will contact the organization to discuss adopting Florida-style policies.
- While the Chicago billboards remain active for one week, Wilson plans to continue the "Free Enterprise" campaign, warning that Florida leaders must avoid policy pitfalls plaguing states like Illinois.
