Thanks to Gov. DeSantis’ 2023 tort reforms, homeowners and renters are beginning to see meaningful stabilization in our insurance market. Insurance affordability directly affects housing costs, household security and the ability for families to continue to live, work and invest in our region. In the Florida Senate, I’ll continue to support reforms that drive down costs and make life more affordable for Florida families.

Will Florida compete in the next era of economic innovation or concede? Don’t let other states take our jobs, investments, and tax base that data centers bring. Vote NO on SB 484 / HB 1007 to keep Florida competitive.

Data centers can help Florida’s economy, tax base and national security. We can protect Florida ratepayers and the environment while reaping the benefits. Florida should promote data center development, not slow it down.

Data centers are not obstacles to overcome — they are valuable assets that can lower taxes, create stronger communities, and provide greater financial freedom for the families who call this state home. floridapolitics.com/archives…

Facts.
🚨 Insurance Comm. Michael Yaworsky emailed @GovRonDeSantis’ team: HB 947 by Rep. @OmarBlancoFL will raise rates, clog courts, and revive lawsuit rules that once made Florida a “cautionary tale.” Helps trial lawyers—not families. buff.ly/RVLMVfh

Unfortunately, the House passed SB 832, rolling back key tort reforms and risking higher insurance costs for Floridians. Thank you to those who stood strong for Florida families and businesses, and said NO to higher insurance premiums.
