He leads with courage, conviction, and principle on behalf of Floridians.
He is dedicated to the people of Florida and proudly represents the state he’s called home since his birth.
Ron worked and paid his way through college, where he played baseball and served as the team captain, and graduated with a B.S. in History.
After graduating from Yale, Ron attended Harvard Law School where he volunteered to serve the U.S. Navy. During his tenure on active-duty, Ron deployed to Iraq as an adviser to a U.S. Navy SEAL commander. Attached to SEAL Team 1, Ron was awarded the Bronze Star for Meritorious Service and the Iraq Campaign Medal.
I met Ron while he was on active duty stationed at Mayport Naval Base in Northeast Florida.
While on his active-duty, Ron was appointed to the U.S. Attorney’s Office and served as a federal prosecutor, where he led efforts to convict child predators.
Ron and I were married in 2009 and lived in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.
Continuing his call to serve, Ron ran for U.S. Congress. Winning a seven-way primary with 38.8% of the vote, Ron won his first of three terms in Congress.
While in office, Ron advocated for congressional term limits and a balanced budget amendment. He also spearheaded oversight efforts to expose malfeasance in the IRS and in agencies involved in abusing their authority during the manufacturing of the Russia collusion conspiracy theory.
Ron was also a leading champion for America’s veterans and helped enact reforms to the VA and place an emphasis on mental health.
In 2016, Ron and I embarked on our most important role yet – parenthood. From the moment she was born, our blessing, Madison, forever changed our lives.
Shortly after she was born, Ron launched his campaign for Governor. 2018 was one of the most eventful years of our lives as Ron was elected the 46th Governor of Florida and we welcomed our son Mason to the world.
In 2020, we became a party of five with the birth of our daughter Mamie. She was the first baby born to a sitting Governor in more than 50 years.
I’ve watched Ron excel as a Navy JAG officer, federal prosecutor, U.S. Congressman, and now Governor, but his role as a father to our three little ones has by far been the most rewarding.
As a father, he understood the risks of keeping kids locked out of the classroom and the ramifications of force-masking our children – so as Governor, he led efforts to pass legislation to prohibit mandates and empower parents. Rush in your support to help us keep fighting >>>
He foresaw the detrimental effects of shuttering businesses and as a result, he rejected draconian lockdowns and kept the state of Florida open for business.
As a federal prosecutor, Ron understood the importance of upholding the rule of law and supporting our brave men and women in law enforcement. As the leader of our state, Ron rejected calls from the Left to defund the police while making it known that Florida is a law-and-order state.
But if you want to know who Ron DeSantis really is, when I was diagnosed with cancer and I was facing the battle for my life, he was the dad who took care of my children when I couldn’t. He was there to pick me off of the ground when I literally could not stand. He was there to fight for me when I didn’t have the strength to fight for myself. That is who Ron DeSantis is.
He accomplished a lot over the past three and a half years, but our fight has only just begun. Extreme Leftists around the nation are turning once beautiful cities into woke wastelands.
Blue states are giving more consideration to dangerous criminals than their own citizens. They’re fighting to take away parents’ rights in the classroom and working to advance a curriculum that indoctrinates our youngest children.
Ron’s opponent has voted in support of the Biden Regime 100% of the time in Congress. He’s made known his plans to impose vaccine mandates on Floridians – including children – defund the police, and indoctrinate our children with the Left’s woke ideologies.
I can tell you, Ron will never stop fighting, but he needs your help to stay in the fight.
