William Faulkner once said, “We must be free not because we claim freedom. But because we practice it.” Socialism and its older brother, Communism, are antithetical to the practice of freedom. We wanted to remind the world that this generation will never give up on freedom.
Thank you to the House Republican Conference for the nomination as Speaker-designate. There aren’t enough words to convey my gratitude & love for each & every one of you. I look forward to the great things to come under
@Paul_Renner
this coming session as we work to keep FL free!
I want to take a moment to thank everyone who made Tuesday’s victory possible. There's still work to be done. Let's continue building our momentum all the way through November!
#FL116
Today marks the first day of the 2024 Florida Legislative Session. I look forward to working hard on behalf of the people of District 116 and to see all that we accomplish this session.
Earlier this week, we were proud to select
@Daniel_PerezFL
as the next Speaker of the Florida House. He is a man of great integrity who holds faith, family, and freedom dear. Congratulations, Speaker-d!
Had the honor to spend this afternoon with with a special group of Miami public servants - both present and past - who served/serve in the Florida House of Representatives. They shared their wisdom and their hopes for the future of Florida and Miami Dade County. Thank you to all…
My heart is with the people of Israel, who have endured a heinous attack by Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists. As they defend their home and their freedom, we too, must stand with our greatest ally Israel.
Congratulations to
@Sen_Albritton
on your designation as the next Senate President today. You are a valued legislative partner, and I look forward to working alongside you to deliver results on behalf of the people of Florida.
I was raised by parents that escaped a tyrannical regime and through their experience, I have always understood the freedom our country provides. This is why I have always fought for our American values and stood for Conservative principles that defend our individual rights.
The aggression of the Iranian regime towards Israel cannot be tolerated. The United States must stand shoulder to shoulder with our friends in Israel as they beat back this Iranian attempt to inflict grave harm to our nation’s greatest ally in the region.
Yesterday, the state of Florida protected our residents most sacred right to vote. Thank you
@GovRonDeSantis
for securing the integrity of our election system by signing SB 524 into law.
Recognizing Florida House Representative and soon-to-be Speaker of the Florida House,
@Daniel_PerezFL
, for his commitment to education and contributions to the citizens of Westchester and Miami-Dade County.
Thank you to everyone who came from across the country to share their ideas for improving state government. It was incredibly humbling to have so many leaders from throughout Florida engaged in sharing our state’s innovative approach to building a stronger state for for all.
The future of the Florida House is in great hands with
@Paul_Renner
. He is a servant-leader, a principled conservative, and a loving father and husband who will build on our state's legacy of leadership to write the next chapter of Florida's success story.
Stephanie and I join millions of Floridians who are praying for
@FLCaseyDeSantis
. May the Lord give her strength in this fight and deliver a quick victory and speedy recovery.
Stephanie and I are devastated by the passing of John Passidomo and join with so many of our fellow Floridians in sharing our heartfelt condolences and continued prayers for the entire Passidomo family.
America has a choice to make. We can continue to stagger under the ineffectual and incoherent leadership of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, or we can embrace President Trump’s proven record of strength and prosperity.
I am proud to endorse Donald J. Trump to be the next President…
Yesterday, we honored the members of Assault Brigade 2506 on the floor of the Florida House. Their commitment to freedom and courage in the face of insurmountable odds inspires us all. Their cause, is our cause, & the world is a better place because of their bravery and…
It’s opening day of the 2023 Florida Legislative Session. I am honored to represent the people of District 116 in the Florida Capitol and am looking forward to accomplishing great things for our community in the next 60 days.
Today, we honor the incredible impact of special education on the lives of those with unique abilities and the dedicated educators who make it possible. Every child deserves an education tailored to their needs, and today reminds us of this important right.

@ScottforFlorida
is a remarkable leader for Florida and a fighter in the US Senate. Challengers will come and go, but Florida Republicans will always stand behind him and hit the pavement to ensure his reelection.

Congratulations to
@GovRonDeSantis
on his inauguration today. He is a defender of Floridians' freedoms, and I look forward to working with him once again.
Florida is a better place because of the selfless service of Spencer Roach. His commitment to our country and the Constitution is unmatched. I will miss having his thoughtful presence in the chamber, but look forward to all that he will accomplish in the future.
Thank you
@FifthThird
for continuing your investment in our future generations. I know I speak on behalf of many of the children in my district, mostly Hispanic, when we jointly say thank you!
I applaud
@FifthThird
for coming back to the table, listening to all voices, and working through their concerns. This decision means that thousands of underprivileged, minority children will not have to give up their dream of a better future.
Thank you
@SenRickScott
for all that you’re doing to clean up Washington and restore the promise of America for each and every Floridian. We are a better state, and nation, because of your service.
“Wait a second. He was just here now he’s in the tv…” my kids watching me on Newsmax TV talking about keeping our kids in school and not allowing the federal government to take us backwards.
@govrondesantis
has Florida moving forward.
Ana Montes’s treasonous actions deserve nothing less than a lifetime behind bars. She spent decades empowering a Cuban dictatorship that has waged a full assault on the fundamental American values of freedom and self-determination. She deserves to enjoy neither.
One of the most damaging spies in US history, Ana Montes was released from prison on Friday. For 17 years, she quietly shared intel w Cuba, who very likely shared it w Russia. Insights from retired FBI agent
@petelapp
, who led operations to break into her home to gather evidence.
Happy Birthday to my brother and dear friend
@ArdianZika

As we gather this week for Thanksgiving, I am grateful for my family first and foremost, and for the freedoms we enjoy in this nation and the great state of Florida. Wishing everyone across the Sunshine State a Happy Thanksgiving Day.
Because of the dedication of local leaders, legislators, & the families of those affected by the tragedy at Surfside, the FL House passed a bold & meaningful condo reform bill that makes FL safer & more secure. Thank you
@ChrisSprowls
for fighting so hard to make this a reality.
On Patriot Day, we remember the victims, their families, and the survivors of September 11, 2001. This tragedy has had a lasting impact on countless Americans and has left an indelible impression on our country. Let us honor those we lost and those affected.
Happy Father’s Day to all of the dads who love, inspire, teach, and care for their children every day! Wishing many blessings of joy and warmth with your families!
Congratulations to Christopher Columbus High School for being crowned state champions in the highest high school sports division within Florida. District 116 is very proud!

Tonight,
@RonDeSantisFL
demonstrated why he is the clear choice to lead Florida. Whether it's keeping Florida's economy and schools open or empowering parents and bringing tax relief to working Floridians, Gov. DeSantis has led with courage and conviction.
Today we remember the valiant Cuban freedom fighters of the 2506 Brigade who gave it there all in the Bay of Pigs invasion in defense of freedom in their homeland. We honor their memory and continue to support those who stand against communism here and everywhere this danger…
Today we recognize the strength and determination of the American work force – the greatest in the world. Join me in honoring the American workers who have helped lead our country to economic prosperity. Enjoy a safe and restful Labor Day.
I am humbled to have received the endorsement of the South Florida Police Benevolent Association, who represent the brave men and women who always answer the call in our moment of need.
Thanks for having me on this morning to discuss the phenomenal job
@GovRonDeSantis
and
@JaredEMoskowitz
are doing to provide vaccine access to minority communities. We are leading by example in Florida.
Thank you
@AGAshleyMoody
for shedding light on such an important issue in a community that understands first-hand the potential irreversible damage court-packing will cause. We are with you.
Hosted a roundtable discussion at FIU about the dangers of court packing with South Florida leaders and Venezuelan Supreme Court Justices in exile.
We must stand united against attempts to pack SCOTUS—our nation and freedom depend on it.
In a time when people throughout Miami Dade are struggling to keep up with the skyrocketing prices at the pump and the grocery store, the idea that politicians would endow themselves with a permanent paycheck for no work is ridiculous and unconscionable
I’m grateful to the members of
@ALEC_states
for inviting me to share FL’s public policy victories, provide an update on the importance of promoting freedom in Cuba, & for giving me the honor of introducing
@GovRonDeSantis
whose leadership has made so much of FL’s success possible
There is no body in the country more committed to protecting individual freedoms than the Florida House. Thank you
@GovRonDeSantis

Authoritarian edicts from the Biden regime stop here in Florida. Proud to stand with

Ash Wednesday brings my favorite Gospel of the year. Everyone should take a couple of minutes and give it a good read...”But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right is doing.” Matthew 6: 3
As a nation, this Memorial Day we collectively reflect, celebrate and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country and defending our freedom.
