Thank you @GovRonDeSantis for this investment in workforce education. This is why we are #1 in the nation! 💪🏻👊🏻
Today in Brooksville, I awarded $3 million for workforce education through the Florida Job Growth Grant Fund to Pasco-Hernando State College. This award will fund the launch of a new airframe and powerplant aviation maintenance program, the expansion of pilot training opportunities, and the consolidation of drone maintenance instruction at the Brooksville-Tampa Bay Regional Airport. Manufacturing, aviation, and aerospace are growing in Florida. With expanded training opportunities, more Floridians will be able to prepare for in-demand careers in these sectors—and companies will invest more in our state, creating good jobs and fueling Florida’s economic success story.

From 2019-2023 the FL Department of Agriculture was plagued by poor leadership. Since taking office in 2023, @WiltonSimpson has rejuvenated the agency and responded admirably to natural disasters such as this year’s fires. He has earned a second term and I endorse his reelection.

I enjoyed providing the keynote address at the FCS Summer Councils meeting of academic, workforce, and student affairs leaders from the Great 28 @FLCollegeSystem institutions. By working together to ensure our students have the skills needed for high-wage, in-demand careers, Florida will continue to lead the nation in workforce education.

With a proven record of advancing student success, @StasiKamoutsas will successfully lead Polk State into a new era.
I’m looking forward to this next chapter as the President of @PolkState and am grateful for the trust and support of the Board of Trustees, the faculty, the community and most importantly, the students. Together we will strengthen Polk State’s legacy of excellence and ensure the college remains responsive to the workforce demands of Polk’s rapidly growing community.

These words are earthy, honest, and oh, so uncomfortable. @BenSasse is reflecting about the things people used to know instinctively but modern life keeps teaching us to forget. That dinners matter, that time is slipping, that identity is fragile when untethered from grace, that love lives in ordinary rituals. I don’t know that I’ve ever read anything that made me want to rearrange my entire life overnight. Not out of guilt but out of clarity. About time. About family. About grace. About the terrifying speed of childhood and the danger of confusing productivity with purpose. He’s a living sermon with dirt under its nails. He is being profoundly and unapologetically human for all to see. I feel this in my bones.
New: @BenSasse sits down for an interview with me at a bar in Manhattan. We talked about many topics—from his childhood to politics to Heaven—and why his message about “redeeming the time” after his terminal cancer diagnosis is resonating with so many. thedispatch.com/article/ben-…

Under @GovRonDeSantis’ leadership, Florida has completely transformed its emergency response efforts. Less bureaucracy, more coordination across agencies like @FLSERT and @FLHSMV, and year-round preparations allow us to better serve communities when they need it most.
We have made historic investments in infrastructure hardening and emergency management. Today in Orlando, at the start of the Atlantic hurricane season, I was proud to announce another step to ensure that Florida remains the national model for disaster preparedness and recovery. The Coalition for Operational Readiness in Education (CORE) is a first-of-its-kind initiative that brings together state agencies, colleges, and private-sector partners to strengthen the future of Florida’s emergency management workforce. CORE will position Florida as the worldwide epicenter of talent development, training, and technology at the cutting edge of emergency management and disaster recovery.

Owning your own home has been the American dream since our nation was founded. What better way to celebrate America 250 then a massive property tax cut through a $250,000 homestead exemption! 🇺🇸🍊 flsenate.gov/PublishedConten…

Many have tried to get property tax relief on the ballot. This would never have happened were it not for @GovRonDeSantis.
