Three years ago today, Florida went RED and we elected President Donald Trump. Since then, over 6.9 million jobs have been created, 1/4 of all judges on the circuit court are Trump appointed, the economy is thriving, and Trump's America First agenda added $1,500 to the average middle class paycheck. Strong Conservative leadership works!

This week we celebrated 1 year since Florida elected Ron DeSantis. Governor DeSantis holds the highest approval rating in recent history at 72%, because he's kept his word and is securing Florida's future.

Check out some of Governor DeSantis' top accomplishments:

Insurance Summit: Jeanette Nuñez says Florida economy is ‘making history’
Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nuñez says Florida’s economy is booming, and with help from the private sector it’ll continue its upward trend. “We are indeed living in exciting times in Florida. The Florida economy is making history,” Nuñez said Monday. “People always ask me, ‘why is everyone moving to Florida?’” Her reasoning: “Florida boasts an unemployment rate of 3.2 percent and we’ve seen a growth in jobs outpacing America. The state of Florida has cut taxes almost 100 times since 2011 and eliminated many job-killing regulations, all the while paying down billions in state debt.”

Gun rights groups, Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody target assault weapons ban
“The proposed amendment is, in practical application, a ban on virtually all semi-automatic long guns. This is so because virtually all semi-automatic long guns --- either off-the-shelf or by virtue of broadly available accessories --- hold, or are ‘capable’ of holding, more than 10 rounds of ammunition,” Moody’s lawyers wrote in a 27-page brief. “The ballot summary does not disclose this effect, which Florida voters are unlikely to understand absent explanation.”

Florida is currently home to an estimated 1.5 million veterans and approximately 65,000 active-duty military personnel and I could not be prouder that these heroes reside in Florida. While we can never repay the sacrifices made by these extraordinary individuals and their families, I’m fully committed to ensuring that Florida is the most veteran-friendly state in the nation."

“It’s important for the United States to continue imposing maximum pressure with our international allies against members of the illegitimate Maduro regime and work together to advance democratic values in our hemisphere.

If passed by Congress and signed by President Trump – who has tweeted his support – the U.S. would simply spring forward an hour in April one year and stay there forever.

Steve Moore: Trump economy is really experiencing a middle-class boom -- this data doesn't lie
Median household incomes under Donald Trump have soared from $61,000 to an all-time high of $66,000 in less than three years into the Trump presidency. This is tremendous news and documents substantial middle-class prosperity in Trump’s first three years in office. The $5,003 rise in middle-class incomes is especially impressive given that incomes only rose by $1,200 in the seven years under Obama — after the recession ended.
