Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins: "Having grown up without opportunity, @HopeFlorida provides opportunity to reduce social welfare systems by creating a hand up for people to build their own opportunity. Let's keep building on that success here in Florida."

Florida Commissioner of Education Anastasios Kamoutsas: "Florida's public schools exist to educate students, not to serve as platforms for activism that take away from classroom instruction."

Rep. Byron Donalds: "The truth of the matter is that the Democrats are so radical that they will create protests. These are not grassroots protests like the Tea Party movement. They will create protests to create a political powder keg just so they can win elections."
