This past weekend, I spent time in Northwest Florida with our Republican State Executive Committee members and guests. Excitement and enthusiasm filled our meetings due to the strong governance from our President, Governor, and Republican elected officials. Our economy is strong and we have record unemployment. High taxes and unfriendly policies and regulations in other states are driving businesses to the Sunshine State. Although the Fake News Media wants everyone to believe a recession is looming, we know that they are just trying to destroy President Trump and the Republican Party. Please make sure to share the articles below with your friends, families, and neighbors so we can continue to Keep Florida Great!

Thanks,

Chairman Joe Gruters

Governor Ron DeSantis Announces Threshold Met for Increased Federal Cost Share for Hurricane Irma.

Governor Ron DeSantis Announces Florida’s Number of Employed Floridians Now Exceeds 10 Million with a Low Unemployment Rate of 3.3 Percent.

@FLSERT is continuing to accelerate funding to communities impacted by Irma, Michael and all recent storms to help Florida recover. Since Jan. 8, they've awarded more than $760 million with more on the way. To read my letter to the President, click here - http://bit.ly/2KKU10R

Today we officially hit the threshold to increase the federal cost share for Hurricane Irma to 90%. This will save the state & local governments more than $160 million. I look forward to working with @POTUS to ensure the increased cost share is implemented as soon as possible.

Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Jimmy Patronis hosted a Hurricane Michael Insurance Village this past Friday and Saturday at Gulf Coast State College in Panama City. The event provided an opportunity for Panhandle residents having insurance issues to meet with their insurance company face-to-face to work towards settling their claims.

The National Republican Congressional Committee announced the first round of “On the Radar” candidates as part of the Committee’s 2020 Young Guns program. Included in the program were Florida candidates, Amanda Makki (FL-13), Irina Vilarino (FL-26), and Maria Elvira Salazar (FL-27).

With #CleanEnergyWeek coming up, I was thrilled to take part in the clean energy movement. We worked with Conservatives for Clean Energy to visit Covanta Pasco this week, which generates 31.2 megawatts of clean energy from waste. #NCEW19
