Matt Gaetz vs Jason Pizzo in 2026 Gubernatorial Cage Match?
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) is nearing the end of his gubernatorial run. In Florida, the Republican Party has grown stronger while the Democratic Party has grown weaker, but could that change by the 2026 midterm election? State Senator Jason Pizzo (D) and former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R)...MUST READ
Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith-The timing of these surprise legal proceedings involving duly elected SA @MoniqueHWorrell just days before she’s sworn into office are beyond suspect. DeSantis looks like he’s again ready to weaponize government against his political enemies and ignore the will of the people.
Rep. Carlos A. Gimenez-We just welcomed Venezuela’s democratically elected President @EdmundoGUto the U.S. Senate alongside so many champions of freedom and Members of our Florida Congressional Delegation!
Thank you @SenRickScott for your leadership & solidarity with the Venezuelan people!
Gus Bilirakis-On his way out the door, President Biden is taking extra steps to restrict domestic energy production. By contrast, my colleagues and I are working to lower costs by unleashing American energy production.
Mario Díaz-Balart-It is a true honor and pleasure to meet with President-elect @EdmundoGU , and reaffirm our unwavering support and solidarity for the cause of freedom in Venezuela and for holding Maduro and his thugs accountable for their crimes.
Under President @realDonaldTrump, America will enter a new era of leadership–one that refuses to appease murderous dictatorships.
The Venezuelan people will be free due to the courage of leaders within the democratic opposition.
FL Sen. Randy Fine: "It is cold out there! But back on the campaign trail in Volusia County at one of my favorite places! 21 days to go until the primary! Enjoying meeting everyone!"
Rep. Maxwell Frost: "This morning, our elected State Attorney Monique Worrell took the oath of office! With almost 60% of the vote, our region trusts her to deliver accountability and justice. I’m in DC for session and couldn’t be there but a huge congrats to @MoniqueHWorrell!"
Gov. Ron DeSantis: "Florida is a law-and-order state. That means our state attorneys uphold our laws, prosecute crimes, and seek justice for victims. But too many prosecutors around the country put their ideological agenda over upholding their oath of office. Three years ago, Hillsborough County had such a state attorney. I removed him from office and replaced him with Suzy Lopez."
Rep. Aaron Bean: "Snow in DC doesn’t always mean cocaine in the White House."
