"‘Keep Florida Safe’: DeSantis Keeping FL Free" Oct 07, 2022

While Democrats persist in their hate smear campaign towards GOP Governor Ron DeSantis, the incumbent governor maintains his progress in leading the state.

The heated Democrats v. Republicans rivalry persists in the midterm elections—with Charlie Crist trying his luck against DeSantis. Crist, unfortunately, under the same party as that of President Joe Biden who has received low approval ratings due to high inflation rates and pandemic handling, faces backlash and questioned for loyalty for ‘party switching’. DeSantis, on the other hand, is predicted to go home big after he gained traction for his brisk response during the COVID-19 surge.

“He was allowing us, as business owners, to make those choices,” says small business-owner Steve who only had to make small changes rather than close thanks to DeSantis striving to keep the state open.

America, whose essence is freedom and liberty, should elect an official who upholds this right. DeSantis signed the ‘strongest #pro-freedom, #anti-mandate action’ legislation on protecting Floridians from job displacement. The then heavily-handed vaccine mandates exacerbated the people’s fear in the uncertainty of the circumstances and he gave people autonomy.

Inflation in America continues to hike, but Florida remains to enjoy holistic development in economy, education, environment, and healthcare.

True enough, a fiscally-abled state maintains its constituents’ perks. DeSantis ratified the ‘largest tax relief package in Florida’s history’---House Bill 7071, that provided ease for peoples’ basic necessities. Moreover, over 750,000 #Floridian commuters may get to enjoy a $550 savings in tolls credited to the latter’s recent proposal.

DeSantis managed to keep the state afloat despite volatile market conditions. Why should Florida refuse to give him more years in office?

“When they opened the schools…that was like a Hallelujah moment. Thank God he cared about making sure the families were okay,” shares Jessica, a single mother.

He expanded school choice for low-income families, froze college tuition, and gave teachers pay raises. Ranking #1 in Higher Education by US News, he also augmented people’s choices. 

DeSantis’ high regard for service and the public is long evident even before he assumed public office. He convicted child predators, and had served the U.S Navy. Now more than ever should Floridians rally towards an electoral movement with sincere hopes of keeping Florida safe and the benefits that come with it.
