Orlando, FL (1888PressRelease) July 28, 2010 - Frank Wood's practical vision for a better Florida has earned the endorsement of businesswomen and working families.

The almost century-old organization, Business and Professional Women's Foundation/Florida, along with the Florida AFL-CIO, endorsed Frank Wood in his run for the Florida House of Representatives, District 25, which includes portions of Lake, Volusia and Seminole counties.

Wood, a 30-year veteran Economics teacher at Mount Dora High School, said he was deeply honored by the endorsements.

"To have earned the trust and support of business leaders, professionals and working families is heartening," he said. "This is evidence that leaders in labor, business and the professions are looking for a moderate, practical view and want to avoid the extremes that unfortunately characterize state politics today. I agree. This is how we build better communities, a more prosperous state and a stronger America - We do it together, starting at home, crafting long-term solutions based on plain talk and common sense."

Wood, a former Lake County Teacher of the Year and holder of the prestigious National Board of Professional Teaching Standards certification, has been urged for years to run for the legislative seat.

Wood shares credit for his campaign's accelerating momentum with the "can-do spirit" of his volunteers and a growing base of voters from both parties and all walks of life who believe state government needs more common sense.

"This cuts across the political spectrum," Wood said. "Voters are telling me they want to strengthen public education, cut top-heavy wasteful bureaucratic spending, create a climate of entrepreneurial opportunity and build on the American Dream for working families. The Florida Legislature must seek solutions that serve the long-term good. Our economy and way of life depend upon it."

Wood believes voters are ready for genuine change in Tallahassee. "More and more people believe government should be practical and useful, rather than bureaucratic and self-serving."
