Ryan Houck: Battling Activists, A Strategy For Success
 | | Watch Video Sierra Club: A Foe of Commonsense Itself |
Ryan Houck is the Executive Director of Free Market Florida. He'll also be a guest speaker at
FFAA's upcoming Winter Business Meeting. Last year, Houck's group led a statewide coalition to one of the greatest election upsets in recent memory, garnering 67% of the vote against Amendment 4, a measure most political insiders once considered "unbeatable." After thwarting activist interests on Amendment 4, Free Market Florida became the "tip-of-the-spear" for efforts to beat back the Sierra Club on a host of notable issues, including the EPA's proposed and controversial Numeric Nutrient Criteria rules in Florida. Come to the General Session on 1/20 to learn about the war to win Florida's future. See more at http://freemarketflorida.org
