No governor has done a better job than Ron DeSantis in Florida. His state is growing, luring people fleeing high-tax states such as New York.

DeSantis offers bold, conservative leadership on a host of important issues. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many states imposed draconian mandates on their citizens, forcing them to wear masks or take the unproven vaccine. In Florida, DeSantis ensured that his citizens enjoyed health freedom and were not forced to adhere to unconstitutional restrictions. He insisted that his state remain open for business; consequently, Florida fared well during the pandemic.

While Louisiana and other states are celebrating questionable and unpopular carbon capture and sequestration projects, DeSantis accurately labeled these “Green New Deal” boondoggles as “scams.”

While Louisiana barely lowered state income taxes and offset the loss of revenue with increased sales taxes, resulting in more tax revenue flowing into the coffers, Florida, under the leadership of Governor DeSantis, offers no personal income taxes.

In fact, DeSantis is now working expeditiously on a plan to eliminate property taxes in Florida. He said that he wants to do it before “the beginning of August…it's got to get printed on the ballot, and so the deadline would probably be the end of July, but I'd like to do it before then, for sure.”

While Louisiana, with a Republican governor and a GOP-controlled legislature with a supermajority, passed congressional maps that gave another seat to a progressive Democrat in 2024, DeSantis is delivering more congressional seats for the Republican Party. He is pushing a plan that will give the Republican Party four more congressional seats in Florida, hopefully to counteract the gerrymandered map recently passed by Virginia voters.
