Chairman’s Message

Following the Biden Administration’s continued politicization of the pandemic, Joe Biden thought he had a clear line of attack related to Covid against Governor Ron DeSantis but it backfired. Bigly. Governor DeSantis swiftly swung back demonstrating what a sharp and principled leader he is.

“Joe Biden suggests that if you don’t do lockdown policies, then you should ‘get out of the way.’ But let me tell you this: If you’re coming after the rights of parents in Florida, I’m standing in your way. I’m not going to let you get away with it,” DeSantis said. “If you’re trying to deny kids a proper in-person education, I’m going to stand in your way and I’m going to stand up for the kids in Florida. If you’re trying to restrict people, impose mandates, if you’re trying to ruin their jobs and their livelihoods and their small business, if you are trying to lock people down, I am standing in your way and I’m standing for the people of Florida…Why don’t you do your job, why don’t you get this border secure and until you do that, I don’t want to hear a blip about COVID from you.”

Personal liberty over government diktat.

Later, Governor DeSantis convened a roundtable of healthcare industry leaders in Florida to discuss the hospital situation and vaccine effectiveness. And again found that the media “hysteria” and White House claims that hospitals were being “overwhelmed” were exaggerated. All of the hospital executives said their hospitals were in good shape in dealing with the increase.

“Ninety-five percent of our current patients that are here are unvaccinated,” said Shane Strum, President and Chief Executive Officer of Broward Health. “Talking about that average age, ours was in the low 70s last time. This time, it’s in the 50s, low 50s. So, you see a big difference there. I think another critical or important number to share with you would be that 80% of our patient census is non-COVID patients.”

Although the number of beds in use has increased over the past few weeks, the leadership of these hospitals reported that 5% to 20% of inpatients are due to COVID-19. Jackson Health reports this number was as high as 50% last summer. Every hospital executive said there was no foreseeable risk of hospitals being unable to adequately treat patients.

The primary reason for the age decline is the success of Florida’s emphasis on vaccinating the most vulnerable, specifically the elderly. More than 85 percent of those over 65 in Florida are vaccinated.

The panel included:

John Couris, President and CEO of Tampa General Hospital
Carlos Migoya, President and Chief Executive Officer of Jackson Health System
Shane Strum, President and Chief Executive Officer of Broward Health
David Strong, President and Chief Executive Officer of Orlando Health
George Ralls, MD, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of Orlando Health
Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) Secretary Simone Marstiller and Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry were also on the panel.

The Environmental Governor

This week continued to show the results of Governor DeSantis environmental leadership in protecting and restoring Florida’s natural habitats.

First, the Governor was joined by leaders combating red tide to celebrate the ribbon cutting of the Florida Red Tide Mitigation and Technology Development Facility at Mote Marine Laboratory. This cutting-edge experimental facility at Mote Aquaculture Research Park in Sarasota will allow scientists to test technologies prior to pilot field implementation.

“The new Red Tide Mitigation and Technology Development Facility at Mote Marine Lab will provide scientists the ability to research red tide, and hopefully lead to new technologies that prevent and mitigate harmful blooms,” Governor DeSantis said. “I am proud that we were able to create this facility through a state partnership between FWC, DEP and Mote Marine, and I look forward to putting it to work.”

In his first legislative session, Governor DeSantis signed into law Senate Bill 1552, which established the Florida Red Tide Mitigation and Technology Development Initiative, a partnership between the Florida Wildlife Commission and Mote Marine Laboratory to develop technologies and approaches to control and mitigate red tide and its impacts. The legislation provided a $3 million annual appropriation to the initiative for six years, totaling $18 million.

“The State of Florida has again demonstrated today that it is a national leader in the utilization of science and engineering to decrease the negative impacts of harmful algal blooms on our environment, economy and quality of life,” said Dr. Michael P. Crosby, President & CEO of Mote Marine Laboratory. “The best and brightest minds in research and technology development are now able to utilize this incredible facility because Governor DeSantis and our state legislature fully embraced a vision for pushing the frontiers of science forward to benefit society.”

Next, Governor DeSantis announced the early completion of the Old Tamiami Trail Roadbed Removal Project. This project, which finished six months ahead of schedule, is critical to Everglades restoration as it removes nearly six miles of roadbed from the Old Tamiami Trail to allow more water to naturally flow south into Everglades National Park.

This crucial project is a component of the larger Central Everglades Planning Project, which also includes the Everglades Agricultural Area Reservoir Project, which will help deliver additional clean water from Lake Okeechobee south to Water Conservation Area 3, Everglades National Park and Florida Bay.

“Sending more clean water south is essential to furthering Everglades restoration and protecting the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee estuaries from harmful discharges,” Governor DeSantis said. “Since day one, my administration has been focused on expediting key Everglades restoration and water quality projects to protect Florida’s natural resources for future generations, and I’m proud of our record-setting progress.”

Florida

Ben & Jerry’s parent company Unilever has been added to Florida’s List of Scrutinized Companies that Boycott Israel by Ash Willliams, Executive Director & Chief Investment Officer of the Florida State Board of Administration.

The move was in response to a request by Governor DeSantis on July 22 that the SBA place Ben & Jerry’s and Unilever on the list following the company’s announcement that it would remove its products and prohibit the sale of its ice cream in Judea and Samaria. If a company does not cease its boycott of Israel within 90 days of being placed on the list, it becomes subject to an investment prohibition and the State of Florida will not contract with the company or its subsidiaries.

“As a matter of law and principle, the State of Florida will not tolerate discrimination against the State of Israel or the Israeli people,” Governor DeSantis said. “By placing Ben & Jerry’s Fortune 500 parent company Unilever on our List of Scrutinized Companies that Boycott Israel, Florida is sending a message to corporate America that we will defend our strong relationship with the Jewish State. I will not stand idly by as woke corporate ideologues seek to boycott and divest from our ally, Israel.”

“Israel is a friend of Florida,” said CFO Jimmy Patronis. “It’s a thriving democracy with incredible people and culture and Ben & Jerry’s decision to very publicly discriminate against Israel was a shortsighted attempt to virtue signal to folks on the radical left.”

Governor DeSantis announced $250 million in funding for Florida’s ports to help recover from decreased revenue in 2020, and to invest in infrastructure at Florida’s ports. Florida’s ports generate an economic impact of $117.6 billion and support 900,000 jobs.

“Not only are Florida ports a key economic driver for their surrounding communities, but also for our state as a whole,” Governor DeSantis said. “From the cruise industry, to cargo, to supporting military operations, our ports provide nearly 1 million jobs for Floridians. This $250 million investment in our ports is a commitment to our future economic prosperity for generations to come.”

Governor DeSantis announced more than $58 million for communities impacted by Hurricane Michael through the Rebuild Florida Hometown Revitalization Program, which supports the revitalization of downtown areas and commercial districts impacted by Hurricane Michael.

In this round of funding, money will go to reconstruct streetscapes and install lighting in downtown areas, restore structures in commercial districts damaged by Hurricane Michael, and provide funding to businesses to help them make repairs and keep their doors open after suffering revenue losses caused by the storm.

“For many of our rural and small communities, the downtown businesses are the core of the community – this funding is for them,” Governor DeSantis said. “Today’s announcement builds on the commitment we made early on to give our full support to this community until it is able to fully recover from Hurricane Michael.”

This week has proven to be quite challenging for the state as well as our District as the COVID-19 Delta variant has rapidly spread. Reported cases of the virus are skyrocketing and it is important that you all stay aware and stay safe. This new surge has even impacted myself and those in my office. My daughter has tested positive for COVID- 19 and some of my staff has fallen ill as well. Even friends of mine who have had the vaccine are now testing positive. Between all of that, and the fact that I had surgery this week, life has been quite a roller-coaster.

Nevertheless, upon discovering these developments at home and in the office we took the necessary precautions to ensure everyone’s safety. We’ve had our Collier office fumigated, all of us are working from home, and no one is coming back to work until they have a negative test result. Luckily, those I know who have been impacted by this virus are fighting it with no issues, but not everyone has been as fortunate. What’s most important is that we remain aware of this surge and do what is best for our families. We must do our due diligence in reducing the spread, making smart choices, and supporting those who are still being negatively impacted by this harrowing disease.

As this new surge begins to permeate, questions about mask mandates and mandatory vaccinations have begun to resurface. I want to reiterate that choosing to vaccinate or mask up is your choice — the government, in my opinion, should not have the right to enforce any health decisions upon you. I will continue to fight for your right to make your own choices as your Representative! Just be smart, stay safe, and take care of the people around you.

Governor DeSantis in Cape Coral

Governor DeSantis visited SWFL this Friday at Two Meatballs in the Kitchen in Cape Coral. While there he discussed the spread of the Delta variant, vaccinations, ensuring that there won’t be any lockdowns, getting folks back to work, and preserving the personal freedoms individuals have over their own medical decisions.

The highlight of the Governor’s conference were his comments on the state of education in Florida amidst the pandemic. He showed that Florida schools have preformed better than most other States because we followed the science as it evolved and found that schools were a low risk setting for spread. Florida, under the leadership of Governor DeSantis, got our kids back in school swiftly which allowed them more opportunities for academic success when everywhere else was shutting down. It also served to support their social-emotional development rather than stifle it through illogically shutting down these critical centers for learning and growth.

Now, as the next school year begins to approach us, questions are stirring about the return of masks in our schools. Fortunately, the State has left it up for local jurisdictions to decide if they will be having mask mandates in schools. The school districts in HD80 have chosen to allow individuals to make their own decisions on whether or not to wear a mask.

Roundtable on Unmasking Kids in Schools

/0 Comments/in /by

Dear Members,

Earlier this week, Governor Ron DeSantis hosted a roundtable discussion with doctors, experts, a school administrator, a concerned parent, and a high school student about efforts by the federal government to require children wear masks in school.

During the discussion the participants shared their insights and experiences about how mask mandates and school closures harm children. Over the past 18 months, Governor DeSantis has been very clear about the importance of keeping Florida open and free.

He has also advocated for parents and students by ensuring they have choices – giving them the ability to make decisions that are best for their families.

Governor DeSantis opened up the discussion with the following:

As many of you know, there’s been talk amongst the CDC, the Academy of Pediatrics to force masking on school children — I think the academy even says teachers and school children, regardless of even immune status, even if they’ve recovered from COVID or even if they have been vaccinated.

And so, we in Florida, at this point, our school districts have, proposed the mask optional. But I think our fear is that seeing some of those rumblings, that there be an attempt from the federal level or even some of these organizations to try to push for mandatory masking of school children. And so, our view is that this should absolutely not be imposed. It should not be mandated. And I know our legislature feels strongly about it, such that if, if you started to see a push from the feds or some of these local school districts, I know they’re interested in coming in, even in a special session to be able to provide protections for parents and kids who just want to breathe freely and don’t want to be suffering under these masks during the school year. ~~ Governor Ron DeSantis

Participants of the discussion included the following:

Jay Bhattacharya, a Professor of Medicine at Stanford University and research associate at the National Bureau of Economics Research (NEBR). He is also a senior fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research, with an M.D. and Ph.D. Jay’s research has been cited over 11,000 times according to Google Scholar.
Cody Meissner, MD, a renowned pediatrician and Chief of the Division of Pediatric Infectious Disease and Professor of Pediatrics at the Tufts University School of Medicine. Dr. Meissner is a national authority on the well-being of children, having served on the AAP’s Committee of Infectious Disease, and the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), and HHS National Vaccine Advisory Committee (NVAC).
Mark McDonald, MD, a successful practitioner of over 14 years based out of Los Angeles who is a clinical psychiatrist with specific expertise working with children with autism, trauma, obsessive-compulsive and bipolar disorders. Dr. McDonald works closely with families, schools, pediatricians and therapists to aid in his treatments.
David Withun, Head of School of Jacksonville Classical Academy. He is also a veteran of the United States Army, he holds an MA and Ph.D. in Humanities from Faulkner University in Montgomery, Ala. Dr. Withun has taught History, Literature and Humanities and his writing has been published in several popular and academic outlets, including Classical Receptions Journal, Black Perspectives, Phylonand Forma Journal.
Anita Whitby Davis, a concerned parent and mother of two sons. Her sons attend the Governors Charter Academy in Tallahassee where she also works as a parent liaison at the school
Everett Thompson is a rising senior and lacrosse player at Maclay Highschool in Tallahassee and is very concerned about masks being required this year.

Press Release – Rep. Donalds’ Statement of Speaker Pelosi’s Reinstated House Mask Mandate

Rep. Donalds’ Statement of Speaker Pelosi’s Reinstated House Mask Mandate

WASHINGTON — Today, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) issued the following statement slamming Speaker Pelosi’s newly reinstated mask mandate in the House of Representatives.

“In the early days of the 117th Congress, I joined my Republican colleagues in demanding that truth return to the nation’s capital, especially in light of the showmanship and anti-science COVID protocols Speaker Pelosi then ordered. Here we are nearly seven months later, and I again call on truth in our nation’s capital regarding the Speaker’s recent reinstated mask mandate in the House of Representatives. Here are the facts: The basis of this decision comes from a study that hasn’t been printed yet, based in India and on a vaccine that isn’t even in America, and that failed peer review,” said Rep. Donalds.

“Throughout this pandemic, the so-called experts, big media, and Democrats have called into question the validity of public health and the objectivity of science, all while furthering their political power and using it to divide Americans. The Democrats are the only ones to blame for vaccine hesitancy. They spent the entire rollout of Operation Warp Speed calling into question the validity of the vaccine, and today their rules call in to question any incentive to get inoculated. I have said it before, and I will repeat it: I encourage every American to get vaccinated—but at the end of the day, it is the right of every American to decide to do so, not the government.

“To date, over 75 percent of those over the age of 65, the most vulnerable to COVID, are fully vaccinated, and we must continue to provide every American with the information and resources necessary to make the health decision that is best for them. Speaker Pelosi needs to stop the games. Let’s not forget, she flew in a COVID positive Democrat member to D.C. to ensure she had the votes necessary to become Speaker—this has never been about following the science; it has been about whatever works for Nancy.”

Chairman’s Message

Planning for red tide is paying off

Governor DeSantis’ environmental foresight and commitment is paying off for Floridians as the state is prepared for the red tide growing off the Gulf Coast. The Governor, working with the Republican Legislature, allocated millions for red tide and blue-green algae in this year’s budget because they understand that these are long-term issues that also require rapid responses at times.

And because of that foresight, any state of emergency, as is being urged by some Democrats, would actually hurt Gulf Coast business and affected communities — and perhaps businesses statewide — by scaring away tourists and vacationers. We’ve seen it happen before in crises as the entire state gets painted as having a problem.

“Literally the only thing that would do is hurt some of these people,” the Governor said of declaring a state of emergency. Watch the clip here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dldr14qler1fdbq/RD%20Red%20Tide%20Response%20to%20Kriseman.mp4?dl=0

Cuba Libra

Governor DeSantis and Senator Marco Rubio, along with Congresswoman María Elvira Salazar and other Florida Republicans, showed dynamic and passionate leadership during a town hall Wednesday night hosted by Sean Hannity in Miami’s Little Havana.

The focus of the town hall was Cuba Libra, highlighting the peaceful but giant uprising by the Cuban people determined to create a new government, a new Cuba, that has as its foundation freedom. The coast of Florida is just a few miles from Cuba and America can and should play a key role in helping the Cuban people in their quest to be free. So far, the rudderless Biden White House has been largely missing at this crucial moment.

But Florida leadership, exemplified last night, has been electric in backing the Cuban people and the Cuban Americans in Florida who have poured into the streets in support of a new Cuba.

Governor DeSantis has said Florida companies stand ready to get full internet into Cuba, past the communist government’s efforts to block it, and called on the Biden administration to rapidly approve the action. But President Biden is radio silent on it, reflecting the general confusion in the Democrat Party over how to view this freedom movement in a communist country.

Senator Rubio has been blistering Democrats online and in the well of the Senate, passionately making the case for helping the Cuban people. He is the most important, informed and persuasive voice in Washington on Cuba, and he is moving the listless apparatus of D.C.

Florida

Florida continues to advance childhood education as Governor DeSantis announced that Florida is investing $270 million in literacy initiatives throughout the state during the celebration of the signing of House Bill 3. This means that K-5 students who are reading below grade level can receive quality books at their homes.

The new law creates the New Worlds Reading Initiative, Florida’s first statewide book distribution program. In addition to the New Worlds Reading Initiative for distributing books, the state is also funding other literacy initiatives.

“As a father of three young children, I want every child to have the opportunity to achieve their full potential,” said Governor DeSantis. “The biggest difference we can make in setting Florida children up for success is making sure they know how to read.”

Governor DeSantis celebrated the signing of the Florida Wildlife Corridor Act this week. The legislation directs the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to encourage and promote investments in areas that protect and enhance Florida Wildlife Corridors.

To support these efforts, the Florida budget dedicates $300 million specifically to protect the Florida Wildlife Corridor. This funding is in addition to the $100 million that is allocated to the Florida Forever program.

“Today we celebrate another milestone of this year’s legislative session, which was a resounding success for Florida’s environment,” Governor DeSantis said.

The legislation has been roundly applauded by conservation and environmental groups around Florida.

Governor DeSantis said this week he will continue the fight to free the cruise lines from onerous CDC restrictions by asking a federal appeals court to reimpose an injunction that would block restrictions on the cruise-ship industry during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Governor made the comments after a panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld CDC restrictions and issued a stay of the injunction. Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody filed a lawsuit in April arguing that the CDC had overstepped, and did not have the legal authority to impose these regulations. In June, a Tampa-based district judge agreed and issued the injunction.

“We are absolutely going to pursue getting the stay removed, either at the full 11th Circuit or at the U.S. Supreme Court,” DeSantis said during an appearance in Central Florida. “I think most courts at this point have had their limit of the CDC issuing these dictates without a firm statutory basis. I am confident we’d win on the merits at the full 11th Circuit, and obviously I am confident we would win at the U.S. Supreme Court.”

Governor DeSantis visited the Southern Border over the weekend to meet with Florida law enforcement officers who have been deployed to Texas to help with the border crisis.

The Governor also met with Texas Governor Abbott for a tour and to receive a briefing on the rise in crime and drug trafficking that Texas is experiencing because of the Biden Administration’s failed border policies. At the briefing, Governor DeSantis announced that the Florida National Guard will remain in Texas to provide additional border support until October 2022.

Florida law enforcement have assisted with the apprehension of more than 2,800 illegal immigrants in 23 days and aided in more than 100 criminal arrests for felonies, including human trafficking, drug smuggling and stolen vehicles.

“We appreciate Texas stepping up where the federal government won’t,” Governor DeSantis said. “When Governor Abbott put out the call for help at the border, we immediately answered because we know that the success in Texas is America’s success.”

He added: “Of the individuals our law enforcement have apprehended at the border, more than 70% said they ultimately wanted to go to Florida.”

It’s been a rough week for Val Demings. She has refused to criticize groups like Black Lives Matter and radical leftists such as AOC, who defend the Cuban communist regime and blame the United States for the plight of the people of Cuba.

And then she failed a basic test on an issue that’s hugely important to Florida: whether she supports the Cuba embargo at the very moment the people of Cuba are rising up against the communist regime. After dodging questions and refusing to take a position on the Cuba embargo, she had to send a spokesperson out to clean up her mess.

You would think Val Demings, who wants to move up to the Senate, would be more versed on a topic this important to Floridians. It’s clear that Demings is not ready for primetime.

Even the media sees it: “…it still would seem like someone taking on a Cuban American incumbent should expect questions about the embargo and what she wants the Biden administration to do about the ongoing situation.” – Florida Playbook

That’s the opposite of Senator Marco Rubio, who has shown himself time and again to be a leader in the fight for freedom for the Cuban people. He knows what he believes and is bold in proclaiming it. Just the sort of Senate leader Florida needs.
