From November 1, 2022
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ re-election campaign today announced “Keeping Florida Free,” the last TV advertisement featuring Floridians from across the state and highlighting how Governor DeSantis has made Florida a stronger, safer, freer state to live in by delivering historic results to Keep Florida Free. This 60-second advertisement is being aired by the Republican Party of Florida.
The Governor’s Freedom Agenda is delivering historic results for Floridians — historic tax relief, historic teacher pay, a historic law enforcement recruitment package, historic legislation for protecting parental rights — all while blunting the headwinds from Washington DC, making Governor DeSantis the leader Florida needs.
ECONOMY: FLORIDA’S ECONOMY IS OUTPACING THE NATION
Governor DeSantis has delivered Florida’s largest-ever tax relief package, cutting taxes on gas, groceries, and diapers and enacted tax holidays for disaster preparedness, school supplies, leisure, and outdoor activities, and more. He delivered the largest-ever budget surplus, ensuring Floridians’ taxes won’t go up. He plans to do even more, by proposing a permanent tax cut on pet food, pet medication, and children’s books, toys, and athletic equipment.
