Instead of spending taxpayer dollars on the Governor's political stunts, we should be using this money to lower costs for Floridians and help with Hurricane Ian recovery efforts. Unfortunately, DeSantis continues to fail our state.

Thank you to the brave first responders who have helped Floridians recover after Hurricane Ian. Because of their bravery, recovery efforts have gone smooth. Florida, we have a long way to go still, but we will recover strong together.

You cannot say you value the right to privacy then force young girls to release their menstruation records. This is the hypocrisy in a DeSantis controlled Florida, which is why it’s critical we remove him on November 8th. My latest with @AliciaOnMSNBC .

Over the past four years, Ron DeSantis has ignored renewable energy and placated his oil and coal donors. During this same time, the climate crisis has gotten worse, with Floridians feeling increased effects every single day. We must act before it is too late.

Governor DeSantis doesn’t like to mention this, but Florida’s budget includes nearly $40 billion in federal money this year. It’s unfortunate that despite having record cash to work with, we couldn’t do more for Floridians struggling with a housing crisis and global inflation.

Property insurance costs are out of control, yet Florida Republicans are focused on banning drag shows and expanding the Don't Say Gay bill. Unlike Ron DeSantis, Democrats don't need to start culture wars for a presidential campaign. We will fight back. Every. Single. Day.

This ruling is a wake-up call for Floridians. We cannot let extremist politicians control our bodies and futures. Stand up for reproductive rights and support Amendment 4. Let's ensure everyone has the freedom to make their own healthcare decisions.

DeSantis signed the extremist 6-week abortion ban into law just before 12 am, hoping Floridians won’t notice he stripped away a right most people agree with. Retweet & amplify. If we don’t want FL’s present to become America’s future, we must stop him in ‘24. #BansOffOurBodies

Florida has a massive teacher shortage, and our test scores have dropped substantially. This has occurred because of 20 years of Republican leadership. There is no better way to fix this than to elect a Democratic Governor and a teacher as our next Lieutenant Governor.
