The Lincoln Project

Dear Friend,

Thank you for joining me in the fight to keep Florida FREE!

While we have already accomplished so much, I have only just begun to fight and having you alongside me makes all the difference.

Since taking the oath of office and becoming Florida’s governor, I have been a leader who the people of Florida can count on to do what’s right. Other politicians cowered in fear to Big Tech, but we took them head-on. We gave Floridians a chance to fight back against these Big Tech oligarchs and a mechanism to hold them accountable for their political censorship with their illegitimate attempts to crack down on free speech.

While some states allowed COVID to serve as a Trojan horse that dismantled their free and fair elections, I REFUSED to allow Florida’s elections to be compromised. As a result, we securely counted over 11 million ballots before midnight on Election Day during the 2020 election.

After what we saw in other states during 2020, I knew we must act to secure our elections before Democrats could use COVID as an excuse to hijack our fair election process. I signed legislation to strengthen and further secure Florida’s election system, including banning ballot harvesting, unsolicited mail ballots and "Zuckerbucks."

I reject Biden's disastrous open border policies and the drugs, crime, and human trafficking that flows unabated over our southern border as a result. That’s why I was the first governor to answer the call for assistance from governors of Texas and Arizona, and why I sent Florida law enforcement to help aid with securing our country.

I also BANNED sanctuary cities in Florida, and after the riots and destruction we saw take place in other cities in 2020, I signed the strictest anti-rioting legislation anywhere in America. I will never allow us to become a safe haven for crime in this state. Our law enforcement deserves our steadfast support, and with the sacrifices they make to keep our communities safe each and every day, we were able to provide every sworn first responder in Florida with a $1,000 bonus.

As other states used COVID as an opportunity to impose authoritarian restrictions, I protected the right of Floridians to work, operate a business, and make decisions for themselves. I followed the data and kept Florida open and kept kids in school. Without our efforts in the face of scrutiny from Democratic politicians and corporate media shills, who knows what the nationwide business and education climate would be today. In an effort to make Florida’s education system the best in America, I signed the largest school choice expansion anywhere in the country. We are expanding civics education to give students the tools they need to effectively fulfill their civic duty as citizens, all while BANNING critical race theory from the classroom.

Because of my leadership, Florida has become a beacon of light for the rest of America. We represent freedom, personal liberty, and opportunity for everyone. There is still much to fight for and much left to accomplish, which is why your continued support is vital. Thanks to you, we can continue to meet the strongest of challenges and overcome the tallest hurdles.

Thank you for your support and just know, I have only begun to fight!

Sincerely,

Ron DeSantis
