Florida Governor Ron DeSantis received an endorsement from Moms for Liberty FL PC and spoke to a crowd of more than 500 Moms for Liberty activists today at the “Joyful Warriors” National Summit in Tampa, Florida.
Tiffany Justice and Tina Descovich, co-founders of Moms for Liberty, and Marie Rogerson, Executive Director of Program Development, also presented Governor DeSantis with the first-ever Liberty Sword Award. This is the first time they have endorsed a Governor.
Governor DeSantis made the following statement concerning the endorsement:
“While other states try to lock parents out of their children’s lives, here in Florida we value parental rights. I am proud to receive the support of Moms for Liberty in their fight to put children first and to protect parents’ rights.
As a father of three young children, I intend to leave Florida to God and to our children better than I found it.”
First Lady Casey DeSantis participated in a fireside chat with Tiffany Justice, co-founder of Moms for Liberty, at today’s summit.
First Lady Casey DeSantis made the following statement:
“Moms for Liberty is on the frontlines of freedom, fighting for the most important thing in their lives: their children. Governor DeSantis leads the state of Florida every day with this in mind and protects your right as a parent to do what’s best for your own children.
I was honored to speak at today’s Moms for Liberty National Summit to share the message of the Freedom Agenda and call on this group of fired-up mama bears to join us in the fight to keep Florida free.”
