Friend,

The fourth Republican primary debate was an opportunity for the nation to hear directly from their future President. To earn YOUR support, I stood up, weathered the attacks, and now I know that we are one step closer to stopping the decline of this country.  

If you're just tuning into the race after this pivotal debate, I'd like to take a moment to tell you a little bit about myself so you know why I'm running for President, what I plan to accomplish, and why I'm asking for your support. 

Here's my story: I was a blue-collar kid born and raised in Florida who went on to work my way through Yale University where I was Team Captain of our baseball team, before going on to graduate from Harvard Law School. After earning my degrees and witnessing the horrific attack on our nation's freedom on September 11th, 2001, I knew I had to stand up. I volunteered for the Navy and went on to serve in Iraq as a JAG Officer in support of SEAL Team 1.   

Since my time serving in the Navy, I have taken on the role of prosecutor, Congressman, proud Governor of the free state of Florida, father to three young children, and husband to my wonderful wife, Casey. 

Leadership matters and I believe my record speaks for itself. Since I took office as Governor, Florida now:   

• Ranks as the number one economy in the country by CNBC; 

• Ranks number one for new business formations; 

• Ranks number one for net in-migration; 

• Ranks number one for economic growth amongst large states; 

• Has an unemployment rate that is a percentage point below the national average and even lower than other large states like California and New York; 

• Ranks number one in education by US News and World Report; 

• Has NO state income tax; 

• Has a crime rate at a 50-year low. 

I have worked tirelessly to transform a once purple state to a deep red blueprint for freedom. 

But here's the problem, Friend. 

Failing leftist policies across the country are shoving a radical ideology down your throat. They're telling you that men can get pregnant, want to impose a social credit score on you, and let Mexican drug cartels cross our border freely and continue to murder Americans. This is NOT okay. 

Riots and disorder have infested some of this nation's oldest cities and turned places like Chicago, Philadelphia, and San Francisco into crime slums. I am NOT willing to accept this decline.

We have a President who is floundering and bowing down to his own party instead of doing what is right for the American people. He has consistently bent the knee to the woke mob. 

These radical policies across the nation are making it nearly impossible for hardworking families to achieve the American Dream, and as a father of three young children and husband to my wife Casey, I cannot sit idly by while their future hangs in the balance. This election is not about me. It's about YOU and the American children who are being subjected to the woke mob's fraud. 

Our nation is facing a critical choice in 2024: Freedom or Decline.  

That is why I am running for President; I will not stand by while Joe Biden sends this nation into deeper decline for another four years. I'm not running to be President. I am running to DO things as President and from Day One we are going to rip up disastrous policies that are harming American families and REVERSE the decline Joe Biden has let fester in this country. 

The time to act is NOW.  

I believe that decline is choice, success is attainable, and freedom is worth fighting for.  

I fought with everything I had on that debate stage and took my vision for restoring this nation directly to the American people. I know that no one is entitled to anything in this world, so I am fighting to earn your support and lead when it matters most. Starting on Day One as President of the United States, these are just some of the plans I am promising to you: 

In Freedom,

Ron DeSantis
