September is a new month and a new phase of this campaign. We need you to step up after what we've accomplished and what is now to come.
John,
The next phase of this campaign begins THIS WEEK.
Here's what we're expecting in September:
The media is ramping up their attacks to silence Governor DeSantis.
A full barrage of attacks against us at the 2nd GOP Debate.
Our team stepping up to help us defeat the onslaught of attacks.
The race is tightening, the pace is accelerating, and the stakes of this campaign become more critical every day. Going into September with every bit of support we can earn will help us set the tone for the upcoming pivotal stretch of the race.
As we prepare for a storm here in Florida, Governor DeSantis will be focused on taking care of the people he serves and we'll be supporting him on the ground. That means you may not be hearing from us much in the next few days, and it's important to us that you understand NOW how critical the end of this month is in case we aren't able to reach out again to let you know.
Gov. DeSantis stole the show at the first GOP debate and gave the nation a first glance at what his leadership looks like in action. Coming together now means showing the nation that support for this movement is growing, and Americans everywhere are ready for a true leader with a proven record and the strength to defeat the radical Left next November.
Our grassroots team drives our every success, and we know we ask a lot of you to help us win this critical election. As this race continues to heat up, we will be relying on our supporters to help us go the distance, and we want to make sure we respect your preferences when we reach out to you.

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.
