PRESS RELEASE

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, the Cannabis Trade Federation (CTF) announced that former Congressman Carlos Curbelo, who served as the U.S. representative for Florida’s 26th congressional district from 2015 to 2019, has joined the organization’s Executive Team as a strategic advisor.
“During my time in Congress, I worked closely with the Cannabis Trade Federation,” said Curbelo. “Today, I am joining CTF’sCurbelo Bill to Treat Legal Marijuana Businesses Fairly team because I know that they are the most effective cannabis industry lobby and that they have the resources, talent, and professional acumen needed to pass game-changing reform at the federal level.

“In my home state of Florida, 71 percent voted in favor of legalizing medical cannabis, and voters in 33 states and D.C. have also decided to legalize cannabis in some capacity. This is a states’ rights issue. That’s why I was an original co-sponsor of the STATES Act and why I continue to support the goals of this legislation today.

“While CTF’s team has already established itself as the go-to cannabis industry organization in D.C., it is only half a year old. I look forward to working with the other members of our talented Executive Team to ensure that the will of the people is heard and to help this organization continue to grow into the powerful association the cannabis industry needs.”

“Congressman Curbelo was a commanding advocate for cannabis reform while he was in Congress,” said CTF CEO Neal Levine. “As a member of our Executive Team, he will continue to be the voice of states’ cannabis rights and will be an essential part of our organization’s strategic growth. It is an honor to have someone with Carlos’s impressive background and skillset on board as a core member of the team.”

Curbelo joins Levine, Heather Azzi, Steve Fox, and Linda Mercado Greene on CTF’s Executive Team. As a strategic advisor, he will help drive organizational strategy, communications, and fundraising.
