When I was elected Governor in 2018, Florida was seen as a bellwether for American politics known for its historically close races. Had Florida turned blue in 2018, we would be facing a very different reality. Thankfully, we won and the free state of Florida is thriving.
We led the way with commonsense freedom-focused policies, providing a blueprint for the rest of the country to follow.
As Governor, I’ve prioritized:
FREEDOM – I’ve kept Florida open, protected jobs and businesses, and safeguarded against mandates by banning vaccine passports.
ECONOMY – Due to Florida being open, we have outpaced the nation in jobs, economic growth, new business formations, and tourism. We now have a record budget surplus.
EDUCATION – I guaranteed the ability of parents to send their kids to school in-person, enacted substantive protections for parents’ rights in education, and secured the largest increase in teacher compensation in state history.
PUBLIC SAFETY – I signed legislation prohibiting local governments from defunding law enforcement, secured $1k bonuses for all police, fire, and EMT personnel, and enacted the largest law enforcement recruitment and retention package in the nation.
ELECTION INTEGRITY – I protected Florida elections by strengthening voter ID laws, banning ballot harvesting, and prohibiting “Zuckerbucks.”
CONSERVATION – I secured a record $3.3 billion to safeguard Florida’s natural resources, improve water quality, and restore Florida’s Everglades.
These are just a few of the policies I’ve put into place and prioritized as Governor. By focusing on these issues, Florida has attracted people from all over the country who value one thing above all: freedom.
I am proud of the work we have done during my first term, and I hope that I can count on your support in November to ensure we can keep building on these accomplishments and Keep Florida Free for generations to come.
