“In order to remake Florida’s economy, as Governor I will need strong legislators who support my business plan for Florida,” Sink said. “Cole Peacock has the necessary leadership and judgment to be such a leader. I’m proud to extend my support and endorsement to my friend, Cole Peacock, for State Representative in District 73.”
“It means a great deal to be endorsed by our next governor, Alex Sink, and I look forward to working closely with Alex to help re-vitalize Lee County and communities across Florida. It’s time for a positive voice in the State House, and I will be the positive choice for Lee County,” Peacock said.
Peacock is running for the seat where he had his first job out of college, as a legislative aide for former State Representative Keith Arnold.
“Not only did I learn the legislative process working in a Representative’s office, but I will now be able to bring the experience of working for leading Florida businesses like Chico’s and Hope Hospice as well as my involvement with the Florida Chamber of Commerce and Florida Retail Federation.”
Peacock said that the focus of his pro-business and pro-human services campaign is about finding ways to re-think, re-invent, and re-vitalize the economy in our communities.
He has more than 12 years of executive level experience in corporate, agriculture and manufacturing industries, and 14 years of governmental experience. He has administered campaigns for governor, state senate and representative and mayoral races. Peacock has been active in campaigns on the federal, state, and local levels and has been an active voice in educating the local constituency in matters affecting them through speaking engagements on behalf of the Florida Chamber of Commerce, local chamber functions, legislative roundtables and through moderating five years worth of local political debates.

State Representative, District 73
Cole Peacock

With so many folks in Lee County and throughout the state going through difficult and uncertain times, our area needs a new voice and a new perspective in the state legislature.
We need someone with real-world business experience, not just business sense, to work towards enhancing the way of life for everyone in Lee County.
We need a true fiscal conservative with a heart for their hometown.
We need someone who will end the partisan bickering and focus on what is in the best interest of working families in our community.
My name is Cole Peacock and I bring all of these to this race.
As an experienced business leader with a get-it-done approach to solving the problems we face, I believe it’s time to set aside ideologies and partisanship which only divide our community.
We have a great deal of work to do to turn our state around, to bring real jobs back to our community, and I have the track-record – and the very strong belief – that we can do this.
