Timely and appropriate. The Biden census in 2020 robbed Florida of critical congressional seats and our significant growth justifies the need for mid-decade maps.

NEW: per Fox News, new FL map proposed by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) would target four Dem seats, aiming to convert a 20R-8D delegation to 24R-4D. But in a year like 2026, not all of the 24 seats would be safe for the GOP. More from @CookPolitical soon. foxnews.com/politics/ron-d…

2026 Watch-New: Florida-based Republican source tells @FoxNews the map @GovRonDeSantis will deliver to the legislature next week likely will create 3 more right-leaning congressional districts. Some in GOP have been pushing for 5, but there are concerns of "overshooting"

To my friends in Tallahassee: in a state that is ruby red, it’s time to respond to what we saw tonight in Virginia with a redistricting plan that reflects Florida’s true partisan lean—and adds 3–4 GOP seats to our supermajority. Virginia is a purple state being drawn as deep blue. Florida should draw a map that’s even redder—and get it passed ASAP. Cc: @GovRonDeSantis @Daniel_PerezFL @FLSenate

A brazen abuse of power & an insult to democracy. 47% of VA voted Trump. They will now get just 9% of the seats. 52% of VA voters voted Harris. Now they get 91% of the seats. (By comparison, in TX, 56% voted Trump; GOP gets 79% of the seats.)

Florida’s migration patterns are changing. Residents in their prime working years are heading to other states, while fewer people are arriving. on.wsj.com/4tYhBtI






🚨BIG REDISTRICTING NEWS in Midday edition RON DESANTIS is considering delaying the state's April 20 special session for redistricting. DeSantis is expected to redraw the Florida congressional map to add between two and five new red seats, a huge plus for Republicans in the national redistricting battle. Now, DeSantis is mulling whether to push the special session back until after the results of the April 21 redistricting referendum in Virginia. @allymutnick me and @bresreports punchbowl.news/archive/41426-…

Yes, that's a toilet. It's where it all started. I built a career fixing what's broken and lowering costs. Now I'm running for Florida State Senate to do the same in Tallahassee—after decades of corruption, too many families have been left behind. A Better Florida starts here.










It’s concerning to see Florida losing so many private-sector jobs in today’s report. Florida must stay focused on creating an environment where our state remains the best place in the country to live, work, and raise a family, and that starts with creating more jobs.
