I'm running for President because I don't believe the decline of our country is inevitable. I believe it's a choice that stands before us. We have it in our power to choose a better path—a path that's going to lead to the revival of this country and a restoration of American Greatness.
I believe in this American Greatness. I’ve spent my life fighting for it. Long before I was elected governor, I served our nation in Iraq as a JAG officer in support of SEAL Team 1. Having seen what the attacks of September 11th did to our country, I felt a responsibility to do my part to help at a time of struggle. So I served. Friend, the sense of satisfaction I got knowing that I was wearing the cloth of my country, serving alongside so many honorable patriots, and fighting for something bigger than myself was a satisfaction that money just can't buy.
Today, our country has lost its sense of national pride.
Instead of strengthening our military recruiting efforts and building a military for the future...
Instead of securing our border and holding Mexican drug cartels accountable for the irrevocable harm they’ve done to our citizens...
And instead of reigning in out-of-control economic and fiscal policy that have left us on the brink of bankruptcy…
...the Left has been too busy distracting our nation with the woke Olympics.
I find this unacceptable. I am ready to keep my campaign promises, restore an energetic executive to the White House, and get the job done. I recently took my message directly to the people of Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina, and I will continue to spread the message each and every day until we’ve won...until we’ve righted this ship...until we’ve achieved our Great American Comeback.
We are at a critical juncture, Friend. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:
Decline is a choice. Success is attainable. And freedom is worth fighting for.
A native Floridian with blue-collar roots, Ron was raised in Dunedin by his mother, a nurse, and father, who installed cable boxes. He attended Dunedin High School and worked his way through Yale University, where he was the captain of the varsity baseball team. He also graduated with honors from Harvard Law School, where he earned a commission in the U.S. Navy as a JAG officer.
During his active-duty service, Ron deployed to Iraq in support of the SEAL mission in Fallujah, Ramadi and the rest of Al Anbar province. His military decorations include the Bronze Star Medal for Meritorious Service and the Iraq Campaign Medal.
Ron also served as a prosecutor in Florida, where he put child predators behind bars. He was elected to Congress in 2012 on a platform of government accountability, advocating for term limits and a balanced budget amendment.
In Congress, DeSantis spearheaded the fight to expose the weaponization of the IRS against conservatives. He also fought to hold accountable the rogue federal agencies involved in manufacturing the “Russia collusion” conspiracy theory. As a veteran, DeSantis was a champion for those who have served our country, pushing for reforms to the VA to better serve veterans and expand support for mental health.
In 2018, Ron DeSantis was elected the 46th Governor of Florida. As governor, he has fought for what’s right and taken the arrows for the people he represents. During the darkest days of 2020, when the corrupt establishment, bureaucracy, and corporate media united to force lockdowns and mandates on Americans, DeSantis stood up for freedom – even when it wasn’t popular.
Grounded in his unshakeable belief in America’s founding principles, Governor DeSantis has enacted a bold agenda to transform Florida into a blueprint for the Nation’s revival. Governor DeSantis has delivered win after win on conservative priorities:
Saving livelihoods from job-killing lockdowns and vaccine mandates,
Protecting citizens from the harmful impacts of Biden’s border crisis by enacting E-Verify and other bold policies against illegal immigration, such as banning sanctuary cities,
Defending parental rights and eliminating CRT,
Defunding DEI bureaucracy in higher ed and holding tenured professors accountable,
Waging war on woke power-grabs like ESG and central bank digital currency,
Enacting the strongest medical freedom laws in the nation,
Turning Florida into a model for election integrity,
Protecting the unborn,
Standing up for the 2nd Amendment by making Florida a constitutional carry state,
Expanding education freedom,
Prohibiting land purchases by the CCP and related individuals and entities,
Lowering prescription drug costs,
Holding woke corporations and school unions accountable,
Creating a universal school choice program,
Delivering record-breaking tax relief,
Helping families achieve the American dream of homeownership,
Supporting law enforcement and our veterans,
Enacting tougher penalties for drug dealers and sex offenders,
Appointing seven conservative justices to the Florida Supreme Court,
...and so much more.
After leading Florida with common sense and conviction throughout his first term, DeSantis delivered a record-setting victory of nearly 20 points in 2022. He earned his second term by the largest raw vote margin in state history, winning by more than 1.5 million votes.
But history didn’t stop there:
Governor DeSantis flipped Miami-Dade County red, winning the majority-Hispanic urban county by double digits. Conventional wisdom assumed this was impossible for a Republican – as recently as 2016, Hillary Clinton won Miami-Dade County by nearly 30 points.
Governor DeSantis flipped several other blue counties red, including Palm Beach County. He won 62 out of 67 counties overall.
Compared to his first statewide election in 2018, Governor DeSantis was up +19% with Independents, up +30% with Hispanics, and up +9% with women.
Governor DeSantis delivered a record-setting victory with battle-tested leadership, a bold policy agenda, and never backing down to corporate media or special interests. As he said at his inauguration: “When the world lost its mind – when common sense suddenly became an uncommon virtue – Florida was a refuge of sanity, a citadel of freedom for our fellow Americans and even for people around the world. In captaining the ship of state, we choose to navigate the boisterous sea of liberty rather than cower in the calm docks of despotism.”
Governor DeSantis has ensured that Florida is a free and safe place to raise a family. Thanks to the governor’s leadership, Floridians enjoy a low tax burden, quality education opportunities, and a xxxxxx in place against the Biden Administration’s overreach and various elite power grabs that seek to force people to adopt a particular ideology. Thanks to the governor’s vision, this year’s legislative session delivered the most ambitious conservative policy victories in Florida’s history.
This year, Governor DeSantis signed:
Record tax relief
ESG prohibitions
Measures counteracting the influence of the CCP
The strongest medical freedom protections in the nation.
Reforms reducing the costs of medications by delivering transparency
Bold higher education reforms; defunding DEI
Improvements to our state’s infrastructure
Tough-on-crime, law and order measures, including the death penalty for child rapists
The strongest measures protecting Florida from Biden’s border crisis
Reforms for paycheck protection , holding accountable wayward school unions
Prohibitions on centralized digital currencies in Florida
No leader has accomplished more for his state than Governor DeSantis. He is now sharing his bold vision with the country, leading a movement to deliver the Great American Comeback.
