Candidate for Florida Governor. Dad, Husband. Former Congressman, fifth-generation Floridian. Let's start Florida's next chapter today.
As Governor, I will fight crime, not communities. My statement on Alligator Alcatraz:

I’m a fifth-generation Floridian – I grew up in South Miami and now call Pinellas County my home. I love this state and believe in its future; that’s why I’m committed to fixing the affordability crisis plaguing our community.

In an affordability crisis, Florida's new budget includes unlimited tax relief for firearm purchases, but caps relief for clothes and shoes at $100. Some things aren't right vs left; they're right vs wrong. Thank you Sen @TinaPolsky for your leadership. sun-sentinel.com/2025/07/08/a-s…
“We have the same coverage that we had, we’re paying double, and we didn’t get the assistance that we needed." Florida's property insurance market isn't coming back without a change of state leadership and approach. Consider joining our campaign today. nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna2…
I recently joined @chucktodd to discuss Florida’s political landscape and why I’m running for Governor. I’m proud to be fighting for Democratic values and creating a state where Floridians can afford to stay and live. Thanks for having me! youtube.com/watch?app=desk…
A lot of well-connected GOP donors are getting VERY RICH off of this disgusting immigrant detainment camp. #GatorGrift orlandosentinel.com/2025/07/19/flo…
With rents rising astronomically, there’s a rise in elderly homelessness in Florida. We can’t leave our elders without housing. We must fix this generational affordability crisis and ensure all Floridians, including our retirees, can afford housing. wesh.com/article/afford…
Republican leaders said this would be the year of affordability, but they've had two decades to help Floridians afford their day-to-day lives. Florida deserves a brighter future, and policies that will give their pocketbooks breathing room. miamiherald.com/news/politics-…
I know Floridians are looking for change. We’re in the midst of an affordability crisis, and the same old policies aren’t working. Join our coalition for a brighter future. floridianpress.com/2025/06/david-…
“As someone who has run for governor and knows what a commitment it is, I’m thankful to have someone in this race that I know is a good person through and through and can win this,” Graham said.
We're unifying to win! Thanks to the @pbpost for covering a week of great momentum for our campaign.

Thank you to each of you who donated to our campaign. We’re so very grateful. 🙌 Change is coming.
$1 million raised. In just a few weeks, over 2,000 people have donated to our campaign & Florida 2026, the committee supporting our race for Governor. I am full of gratitude for each & every one of them, & inspired by so many Floridians demanding change. politico.com/newsletters/fl…

“There is no other elected position in Florida that has as much impact as governor of Florida,” @GwenGraham told me as she endorsed @davidjollyfl. She called Jolly, her close friend, a “good person whose heart is in the right place.” politico.com/newsletters/fl…
Floridians, are you happy with the high cost of living in Florida??? I’m not! A vote for @davidjollyfl is a vote for change vs. more of the same.
We’ve had Republican control for over two decades. Florida is ready for change. I’m running for Governor to bring that change to Floridians throughout the state.
