May 12, 2025

On Monday, May 12th, Miami-Dade enthusiastically welcomed Congressman Byron Donalds, a Republican candidate for Governor of Florida. The event, held at Resurrection Spanish Baptist Church, provided a platform for Donalds to share his vision and detailed proposals for Florida’s future.

Donalds, widely regarded as a transformative figure within the Republican Party and an inheritor of the MAGA movement, made it clear from the outset that Florida must continue along the path set by Governor Ron DeSantis, while addressing the new challenges arising in today’s politically and economically turbulent era.

Speaking to an enthusiastic audience, the congressman emphasized the urgent need to address critical issues such as insurance, transportation, the environment, education, and the state’s economy.

Continuity and Change: The Central Message

Donalds highlighted Governor DeSantis’ strong track record, but stressed that the moment has arrived to elect a new leader capable of facing emerging challenges. With robust support from former President Donald Trump, he proudly declared:

“It is an honor to have President Trump’s endorsement to be Florida’s next governor.”

Clear Priorities for Florida

Among his top priorities, he emphasized the necessity to tackle Florida’s insurance crisis, stating that although improvements have been made, more intensive efforts are still needed to stabilize the market and lower costs.

Regarding infrastructure and transportation, Donalds recognized the urgency of improving mobility in congested South Florida:

“We must ensure our roads remain clear so people can move effectively. This is crucial for our growth.”

He also stressed his commitment to education, pointing out the importance of elevating Florida’s education system to excellence—not just at a national level, but globally:

“Every child deserves access to a world-class education, no matter where they grow up.”

Economic and Technological Vision

Donalds shared an ambitious vision for Florida as a future global financial and technology hub. He expressed his desire to attract venture capital investments and tech companies, positioning the state ahead of traditional hubs like New York or California:

“Want to launch a tech startup? Forget Palo Alto, California. Come to Florida. This is the future.”

Commitment to the Hispanic and African-American Communities

During the Q&A session, Donalds highlighted the need for authentic connections with all minority communities, noting that the key lies in sincerity and genuine dialogues with all societal sectors:

“I’m not afraid to engage with any group. Whether they cheer me or boo me, I’ll always bring them the facts.”

Fighting Corruption Head-on

In response to a public question about corruption, Donalds was clear and direct:

“Corruption doesn’t recognize political parties. There can be no ‘sacred cows.’ Political offices belong to the people of Florida, and we must protect them.”

His firm stance against any form of corruption received prolonged applause from the audience.

Who is Byron Donalds?

Born in New York and having settled in Florida, Donalds briefly shared his journey, highlighting his private-sector experience and personal struggle for success:

“My wife and I worked multiple jobs while building our lives here. I understand what it means to start from zero.”

Closing his remarks, Donalds reiterated his promise to Florida citizens:

“I will always protect your rights. I will never turn my back on the people I represent.”

A Promising Future

The event concluded in an atmosphere of enthusiasm and strong support for the candidate, who thanked the Miami-Dade community and pledged to continue tirelessly working toward an even more prosperous future for Florida.

The race for governor is on, and Byron Donalds made it clear in Miami-Dade that he’s prepared to lead the state toward new heights.
