Florida CEOs send message to NYC: Ditch the Big Apple

The Florida Council of 100, a Tampa-based group of leaders who advise the governor on business issues, has sent an open letter to New York business leaders with a message for companies to leave the Empire State and relocate to the Sunshine State. 

The June 30 letter comes less than a week after New York State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, a Democrat and member of the Democratic Socialists of America party, won the New York City Democratic primary for mayor. In a city that leans heavily Democrat, Mamdani, according to multiple news outlets, is a leading candidate to win the election in November. Current Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, is running as an Independent.
