Gov. Ron DeSantis: "Florida is setting the example for states in combating illegal immigration and working with the Trump Administration to restore the rule of law. I have directed FDLE, FWC, and the Florida State Guard to enter 287(g) agreements with ICE to execute functions of immigration enforcement within our state, just as FHP has already done."

FL Sen. Ben Albritton: "Florida’s legacy rural communities offer a time-honored way of life worth preserving in modern Florida. We have seen tremendous economic growth in urban areas of Florida, its rural Florida’s turn."

FL Sen. Carlos Guillermo Smith: "We deserve a fair, democratic process for amending FL’s constitution, but politicians + special interests put their thumb on the scale, blocking citizen-led initiatives to protect the status quo."

FDP Chair Nikki Fried: "Democrats work every day for your family, while Republicans work every day for Musk. And Musk emasculates Trump every day."

Senator Corey Simon Files Bill Kick-Starting Florida's "Rural Renaissance"

Sen. Corey Simon, a Republican, is sponsoring one of Senate President Ben Albritton's priority bills: a massive package designed to expand education offerings, increase healthcare services, increase investments, and modernize commerce in Florida's most rural areas.

"Florida’s legacy rural communities offer a time-honored way of life worth preserving in modern Florida," said Albritton. "Our rural communities are full of opportunity, but that doesn’t mean traditional development. We can create a rural renaissance by modernize some of our longstanding economic development programs with a focus on infrastructure, not incentives."
