John —
Just over a week after the shooting in Uvalde, Texas, and in the aftermath of dozens of other mass shootings across the country, DeSantis vetoed funding for 83 additional positions to process concealed carry permits.
Not only did the Division of Licensing suspend almost 7,000 concealed weapons licenses for disqualifying offenses under my leadership, we also suspended weapons licenses for 36 people who participated in the January 6th insurrection.
It’s no wonder why DeSantis denied us funding — he wants permitless carry in Florida, no matter how many lives are put at risk, and he wants the support of violent, white supremacist insurrectionists when he runs for President in 2024.
DeSantis jeopardized our safety to advance his political ambitions and deepen his control over our state. Fight back by chipping in $10 today. »

And that’s not even the whole story, John. In the lead up to the 15-week abortion ban taking effect in July, DeSantis also decided to veto $2 million in funding to help low-income women access contraception.
There’s only one reason DeSantis could have for taking away access to essential medical care for low-income women: to exercise authoritarian control over Florida women and over Florida’s leaders, including Florida Republicans.
If you weren’t already convinced that DeSantis is a petty dictator, this should be all the proof you need — and I’m asking you to help me end his authoritarian regime. Will you rush a $10 donation and join my fight to bring something new to Florida? »
