While the Governor has blasted the two initiatives since they were slotted onto […]

Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) appeared on “Fox News Sunday” to share his perspective on the recent comments made by Democrats likening former President Donald Trump (R) to Adolf Hitler.

Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) and Representative Josh Brecheen (R-OK) have introduced the Debt-Per-Citizen-Transparency Act, a bill that requires all Congressional Budget Office (CBO) cost estimates to disclose how much a new piece of legislation will affect the debt-to-citizen ratio.

Florida Republicans on Sunday night blasted a comedian's "classless" Puerto Rico joke as "racist",  prompted by his comments at former President Donald Trump's rally at Manhattan's Madison Square Garden.

After Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida First Lady Casey DeSantis rounded out five campaign events this week opposing a new measure legalizing weed, one of the Governor's top staffers has taken to social media to create and laud a list of who is voting "no" on the controversial, Trump-endorsed measure.

Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) recently joined Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) in promoting the Saving Privacy Act, a bill that aims to “end government abuse of Americans’ financial information.” The senators claim the federal government unreasonably collects too much of its citizen’s data without proper cause.

A proposed amendment that would overturn Florida's six-week abortion ban and enshrine constitutional access to the procedure has drawn out and split one key demographic ahead of the election, leaving Floridians to wonder: who is telling the truth?
