It's my pleasure to be here.

The next step is maintaining all the great success of Governor DeSantis, but then also planning for Florida's future.

Since COVID ended, we've had massive increases in population.

Everybody knows that.

Whether it was COVID or common sense, conservative governance, or just great sunshine, they've chosen Florida

But now we have to manage that growth into the future.

We're going to get more people into our state because, look, New York and California are terrible.

You got Kathy Hochul out there now begging people to come back to New York after she said, yeah, go down to New York.

We don't want you anymore.

Well, guess what?

They're not going back.

But that's a positive.

But now you have to manage that.

It's also about making sure you continue the conservative trajectory that Florida has been on for a very long time.

I moved to the state at 17 years old.

I've been in this state for 30 years.

Everything I've built in my life has been built in Florida.

And so what I want is the state to remain the number one state in America.

And that's going to be continuing focuses on law and order, conservative policy, limited government, but also making sure our kids are getting a world-class education in this state.

We want them to have a pathway to success where they're mastering core subject matter if it's going directly into the workforce, getting the credentials they need.
