Candidate for Florida Governor. Dad, Husband. Former Congressman, fifth-generation Floridian. Let's start Florida's next chapter today.
America now faces a crossroad after the President's decision to go into Venezuela.

I support the apprehension of Maduro. He was a drug pushing dictator without a legitimate claim to the presidency. 1/

Each new year presents an opportunity for renewal, for commitment, and yes, change.

Thanks for being a part of this historic campaign for Governor, and for doing your part to change the world.

Laura and I are grateful each day for your friendship. Happy New Year.

When you have the chance to change the world, you take it.

This is our moment to fight for our future.

We are Florida.

We’ve got big problems that need big solutions, like affordable health care & housing. It doesn’t matter if those solutions are from the right, left, or middle. People just want a government that addresses their problems.

I joined @ms.now to share my thoughts on how we can approach these problems.

Less than one year since President Trump returned to office, infighting among the GOP has reached a fever pitch as many ask whether non-MAGA conservatism has a home in the party. Former GOP congressma...

A powerful and alarming piece by @peterbakernyt.bsky.social.

"Nearly 250 years after American colonists threw off their king, this is arguably the closest the country has come during a time of general peace to the centralized authority of a monarch."

You can’t tell people how to feel. We can argue about the numbers, but it doesn’t change the fact that people are screaming for change.

Be a part of change. Join our campaign!

The affordability crisis is about access, whether it’s housing, health care, utilities, and everything else in between.

But it’s about anxiety too. People feel a real sense of fear and anger about their futures.

Time for new leadership. Be a part of our campaign.

For years, the 1st question I always get about @ms.now: "Is Nicolle Wallace as nice in person as she seems on TV?"

The answer is a resounding, heartfelt, Yes! There's a reason America loves her.

Great to be back at the table and see wonderful friends and colleagues.

4.7 million Floridians rely on ACA tax credits to keep their care affordable, but the Senate and House refuse to extend them.

As Governor, I'll propose direct primary care services in all 67 counties regardless of ability to pay.

Just watched the President's address to the nation.

I've never felt better about our prospects in Florida next November. This state is ready to elect a Democratic Governor.

Change is here. The tidal wave is building. Be a part of it.

After the tragic events of this weekend, it’s clear: we need to have a serious conversation about gun violence.

Health care costs are rapidly becoming unaffordable. Free health clinics in the state are seeing spikes in applications — not just from the uninsured, but those who are underinsured and can’t afford copays or prescription costs.

We have to make sure folks can access care.

Democrats CAN win in Florida, and Miami proved that this week.

We have to capitalize on this momentum and build our coalition ahead of November. There’s a brighter future waiting for Florida, help be a part of it.

Today, my friend, Gwen Graham, and I had the opportunity to listen and learn from education leaders at a roundtable in Sarasota. We’re so thankful to hear their thoughts on the future of education in our state.

Education is in a state of crisis in Florida after facing 20 years of attacks. Here’s what I had to say about it in Sarasota:

Florida needs to be a place that welcomes immigrants but cleans up corruption, starting with the Governor and legislators in Tallahassee.
