The Republican Party of Florida released a video highlighting its Sunshine State Showdown event at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood this June through a post on social media.

The video includes speaking clips from Florida GOP Chairman Evan Power, Sen. Ashley Moody (R-FL), Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, U.S. Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL), Florida Agricultural Commissioner Wilton Simpson, Florida Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia, Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), and Congressman and Florida gubernatorial candidate Byron Donalds (R-FL).

"Florida leads the way. We have become the conservative beacon of freedom because here at the Republican Party, we have not shied away from the fights of our time," Power said.

"What's on the ballot in November is more than just Republican verses Democrat. It is: Are you a patriot, or are you not? And the Republican Party is the party of patriotism," Moody said.

"It is contagious, we don't need to bend a knee. We don't need to bow down to the middle. We need to stand strong for conservative values, and we will continue to prevail," Uthmeier said.

"If we fail in our mission as Republicans, as conservatives, as America First Patriots, all is lost," Cammack said.

"Look what conservative leadership has done in this state. There is no comparison from conservative leadership versus liberal leadership," Simpson said.

"People are fleeing the high tax, high regulatory states because of freedom and opportunity and conservative governance here in the state of Florida," Ingoglia said.

"Stop asking government to fix things. They don't. Government does not fix things. We fix things. Give us our rights back," Scott said.

"The Democrats understand very clearly that they cannot campaign on their radical agenda because the people of Florida will reject it soundly," Donalds said.

Chairman Power also highlighted the GOP's 1.5 million voter advantage over Democrats in the state. The lead could propel Republicans to resounding victories in the November election.
