What a great team of strong, dedicated leaders from all across our great state! The @FLSenate is looking forward to working together over the next two years to keep Florida strong, safe, and free. Together we will leave our state better off for the generations that follow.

Seeing this year after year never gets old!
Thank you Cross City for once again honoring our Veterans.
#VeteransDay
I'm proud that so many military families choose to call Manatee and Hillsborough counties home. Behind every service member is a family that serves alongside them through deployments, moves and long stretches of uncertainty. This Military Family Appreciation Month, thank you for all you give for our country!
Senator @NickDiCeglie will serve as our @FLSenateGOP Leader.
We have all witnessed his strong work ethic and fierce loyalty to his constituents and community. Senator DiCeglie is not only a tried-and-true conservative, but a common sense, consensus builder. He tackles tough issues in a quiet, deliberate manner, often working behind the scenes to uplift and build confidence in others.
Senator @ColleenLBurton will Chair the @FLSenate Committee on Fiscal Policy.
She is fair, thoughtful, thorough, and highly respected by Senators on both sides of the political aisle. Returning Senators can attest to her talent for digging into and mastering complex areas of public policy. You can be confident her policy positions are well-studied and the product of thoughtful consideration. Whether she agrees with you, or not, she is direct, firm and honest, qualities that are both appreciated and needed. Senator Burton will make certain we continue to hold the line and thoroughly vet requests for continued funding as well as new funding.
Senator @jaytrumbull will serve as Chair of our Senate Committee on Appropriations. Having led the budget process as House Appropriations Chair, Senator Trumbull understands this detailed and time-intensive responsibility inside and out.
He will continue our efforts to keep taxes low, reduce the growth of our state budget, pay down debt, and save for the future, bearing in mind that every dollar we have to appropriate in the budget was taken from a family or a business who earned it.
Senator @DannyBurgessFL will Chair the Senate Committee on Rules.
I have always respected his ability to take on difficult issues and build consensus. He has earned the respect of those on both sides of the political aisle by listening to the concerns Senators bring forward and working to incorporate their feedback when possible. His dedication, knowledge of the legislative process, and keen attention to detail will serve the Senate well.
I am asking Senators to join me in voting for @SenatorAMR to serve as our @FLSenate President Pro Tempore.
AMR is one of the most positive, approachable, and friendly people I have ever worked with. She has great respect for the dignity of each person she meets and is always the first to offer a kind word of support or encouragement to others. She listens to contrasting points of view and reserves judgment until she has heard all sides of an issue. If she disagrees with someone, she does so gently, respectfully, and with great care and consideration for their perspective.
Congressman @VernBuchanan, Mayor Gene Brown and I recently recognized Bradenton鈥檚 own @NellyKorda. What an incredible athlete and great ambassador for our region. Now she has a Senate proclamation to hang next to her Olympic gold medal!
My friend @jasonbrodeur's time in the Florida Senate comes to a close, but the impact of his work will be felt for years to come. He fought to expand access to health care, strengthen public safety and champion Florida's Wildlife Corridor. The landmark law he sponsored protects 18 million acres of wild Florida for generations to come. Jason is a true public servant who never stopped showing up for the people he represented. I am proud to have served our state alongside him, and I can't wait to see what comes next!
A hard-fought and well-deserved victory! Congratulations @AlexisMCalatayu on your reelection.
Congratulations to @SenatorAMR for the win! Thrilled to see you continue to represent District 40!
We鈥檙e excited to welcome @laurenmelofl to the Florida Senate. She will be a wonderful champion for Lee, Collier and Hendry counties.
Congratulations James Buchanan on your election to the Florida Senate! You will represent District 22 well.
