The DeSantis Family Leads on Cancer Research
According to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, First Lady Casey DeSantis, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, is doing fantastic and pushing through with her treatment.
Not only is she fighting her illness, the First Lady is making the rounds throughout the state, appearing at events with her husband, and also becoming the face for Cancer research.
DeSantis was in Tampa at Moffitt Cancer Center on Tuesday to announce that her hubby was “recommending $100 million in cancer research in the upcoming state budget.
“Florida offers some of the best cancer care and research in the nation, and I’m proud that we are proposing historic investments in our leading cancer centers,” said First Lady Casey DeSantis. “The Governor and I are committed to helping every cancer patient that we can through innovative research and high-quality care. While we increase this important funding, I also urge Floridians to go through appropriate cancer screenings. Cancer is the second-leading cause of death in our state and now is not the time to delay care. I was honored to join experts in the cancer field today to discuss the urgency of cancer screening and to hear about the incredible innovative solutions our institutes are putting forward.”
In addition, Mrs. DeSantis is also credited with getting Gov. DeSantis to cut back on those “healthy” Krispy Kreme delights.
In Gov. DeSantis’s defense, if it tastes good, it must be food for you, right?

AG Ashley Moody-This is great news as many of our first responders sacrifice so much to keep us safe. Thank you, @FLCaseyDeSantis, for fighting for the courageous Floridians who have devoted their lives to service.
Rep. Val Demings=Our #NDAA vote isn’t just about funding our national security. It will also help us crack down on China and Russia, protect Ukraine, support law enforcement anti-terror and anti-smuggling efforts, and support military families.
