Protecting Florida’s natural beauty has been a top priority from the start of my administration.
Four years later, we have surpassed our promised record funding for Everglades and water resource protection, and we are committing to $3.5 billion over the next four years.

I met Marine Corps veteran Cole Lyle and Kaya when we were working to pass the PAWS Act in Congress. Kaya’s story has helped countless service dogs and wounded veterans across the country and her legacy lives on.
Quote Tweet
Got terrible news today. Kaya is spending her last days on earth w/ us. Flying to TX tomorrow, her final flight, so she can rest where she was born. My heart is broken. Was a great service dog for me, and an inspiration to many more. She’s had a wonderful life.

Florida has a 50-year record low crime rate because of sound policies. We support the men and women who wear the uniform, and they do a great job protecting our state.
We have demonstrated what works and will not indulge in delusional policies that have harmed other states.

It was great to meet sheriffs from across Florida and to share my appreciation for all they do for our state.
