Subject: The first email I’m sending from my presidential campaign
John,
It's official: I'M IN. I'm running for President of the United States.
Let me be blunt: Our border is a disaster. Crime infests our cities. The federal government makes it harder for families to make ends meet. And the president flounders.
But decline is a choice. Success is attainable. And freedom is worth fighting for.
Righting the ship requires restoring sanity to our society, normalcy to our communities, and integrity to our institutions.
Truth must be our foundation — and common sense can no longer be an uncommon virtue.
In Florida, we proved it can be done.
We chose facts over fear, education over indoctrination, law and order over rioting and disorder.
We held the line when freedom hung in the balance.
We showed that we can — and must — revitalize America.
We need the courage to lead and the strength to win.
I'll make sure we have an economy that works for working families, a secure border that works for our nation, and so much more. The battle won’t be easy and will require a lot of toil and sweat to get it all done. I’m excited to share my agenda for America with you over the course of this campaign.
We welcome you to join Team DeSantis by volunteering to spread our message: Decline is a choice. Success is attainable. And freedom is worth fighting for.
Help us lead our Great American Comeback by getting involved today!
A native Floridian with blue-collar roots, Ron attended Dunedin High School and worked his way through Yale University, where he graduated with honors and was the captain of the varsity baseball team. He also graduated with honors from Harvard Law School. While at Harvard, he earned a commission in the U.S. Navy as a JAG officer.

Ron also served as a federal prosecutor, where he targeted and convicted child predators. He was elected to Congress in 2012 and advocated for congressional term limits and a balanced budget amendment.
