Florida First Resilience and Energy Alliance

Over the past seven years, my administration has delivered historic investments to protect Florida’s 1,300 miles of coastline. Today, I signed legislation to preserve the Terra Ceia Bay and to build on our work to promote coastal resiliency and water quality statewide. We are committed to protecting Florida’s environment for future generations to enjoy.

Very proud to start and end my legislative work in Tallahassee on meaningful environmental legislation. We opened in 2018 with HB 325 - Coastal Management, that changed the way we protect our coastlines. There has been more than $550M invested in beach projects since then. Yesterday @GovRonDeSantis signed HB 1417 - FL Dept of Environmental Protection, creating new opportunities for public-private partnerships (P3s) to strengthen Florida's coastal resiliency and protect critical infrastructure from flooding and increasingly severe weather impacts. Thank you @FLDEPNews

FFREA is proud to honor @RepMoniqueM as an inaugural winner of the ‘Powering Florida Forward Award’ for her dedication to House Bill 1461. Clean, reliable, homegrown energy is a conservative win for Florida's future. ⚛️

Thank you, Governor @GovRonDeSantis, for signing my SB 302 (2026) “Coastal Resiliency” 📍It took 5 years, but we did it!! 🙌 I am always grateful to Rep. Mooney for working with me.

Great to be in Bradenton this morning to sign legislation that will preserve Florida’s coastlines and support coastal resiliency. ✔️ SB 302 protects Terra Ceia Aquatic Preserve from being developed into a cruise ship terminal along the Sunshine Skyway in Manatee County. ✔️ SB 302 will build on the results we’ve already seen from our investments in coastal resiliency and help restore wetlands, oyster reefs, and mangroves. ✔️ HB 1417 streamlines environmental rulemaking to protect our natural resources and keep our economy thriving. Florida is blessed with a beautiful coastline and natural environment, and my administration is committed to protecting the God-given treasures of our state.

When a proposal threatened the Terra Ceia Aquatic Preserve, I made a commitment to fight for it. @GovRonDeSantis signed SB 302 into law this morning. Now, the waters, wildlife and coastlines that make this region so special are protected for future generations.

We are proud to present @ChipLaMarca with the Powering Florida Forward Award for his commitment to coastal resiliency. Congratulations, Representative LaMarca, a true #FloridaFirst champion!

@ChipLaMarca Congratulations, Representative LaMarca! We are proud to call you part of #TeamFFREA!

I have spent the past 8 years representing 23.5 million people (200 thousand in my district) in the greatest state in the land. Last Tuesday was my farewell address and it was harder than I thought it would be (for me and others). Thank you to my HD100 team along the way, staff in @myflhouse and most importantly my amazing wife and loving family, for all the support along the way.

Small modular nuclear reactors hold real promise for Florida. @RepMoniqueM says these innovations could power our future, secure our energy supply & create new jobs. ⚡ HB 1461 would help Florida lead in clean, reliable and advanced energy manufacturing.

Through legislation like HB 1461, Florida is working to strengthen the grid, protect communities and ensure reliable power, so Floridians aren’t left in the dark when it matters most. Congratulations, Representative Miller, on earning the unanimous support of the Florida House!

FFREA celebrates the PROVE IT Act, protecting U.S. exporters and leveling the playing field for American businesses to compete against China. This gives Florida manufacturers a stronger competitive edge while safeguarding jobs and supporting clean energy.

Thanks to our 2026 legislative champions, @TobyOverdorf, @RepMoniqueM, @ChipLaMarca and @SenatorAMR, for supporting pro-resilience policies in Florida. We were proud to recognize each of them for their contributions with the Powering Florida Forward Award. 👏

Foreign pollution costs American jobs. Saul Anuzis, former Michigan GOP chairman, recently penned an op-ed on how targeted tariffs can protect jobs and level the playing field for American manufacturing. Read more >> theopinionpages.com/2025/12/focus-…

House Bill 1461 is headed to the House Floor! Congratulations, @RepMoniqueM 👏 #FloridaGoesNuclear

Yesterday’s ruling limits one approach, but the need to support American workers and businesses remains. My Foreign Pollution Fee is another tool to level the trade playing field, bring jobs home, and target the same countries President Trump is trying to hold accountable.

Think pollution abroad doesn’t affect Florida? Think again. Chinese pollution washes up on our shores, harms our water quality and puts American manufacturers at risk. We support policies that hold foreign polluters accountable and protect our environment.

The world’s worst polluters shouldn’t get a free pass at the expense of U.S. workers. Representative LaMarca explains why tariffs targeting foreign polluters could protect American businesses and our environment. Read more from @ChipLaMarca >> sun-sentinel.com/2026/01/06/tar…
