Vote Yes on 3!
The passage of Amendment 3 will be the largest property tax relief in a generation.
At the same time, local governments will still take in far more in property tax revenue than they would have had revenues merely kept pace with inflation and population growth since 2019.

Dems regaining control and then immediately reverting to lawfare against Musk will backfire — and will remind voters why they didn’t like the Democrats when they were in the majority the last time.
In 2019, local governments took in $32 billion in property tax revenue.
In 2026, that number is now $62 billion.
Had the 2019 revenue merely be adjusted for population growth and inflation through this year, it would amount to roughly $49 billion — $13 billion less than current revenue collections.
Why not return some of that extra $13 billion to taxpayers?
Because a court ordered the title be re-written from what it was.
Yes on 3!
In just the past seven years, property tax revenues across Florida’s 67 counties have increased nearly 100 percent. Local governments are taking in almost twice as much money—for more than the inflation in population has increased.
The State of Florida has reduced its budget FOUR YEARS in a row. Local governments can surely do the same.
Amendment 3 creates a path to full elimination of property taxes for homesteaded Floridians. It also provides immediate and meaningful relief for Florida residents by expanding the homestead exemption from non-school property taxes. Vote YES on Amendment 3!
Go Sheriff Rosie!
Yes on 3!
WATCH: Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz pushes back on fear-mongering over Amendment 3, insisting tax relief and public safety can go hand-in-hand through smarter government spending
@Sheriff_Rosie: “Tax relief and public safety are not competing priorities.”

How many would have predicted this back when Milton had just barreled through?
Great job Rays!

Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen!
In 2023, fentanyl killed nearly 5,000 Floridians. By 2025, the death toll from fentanyl had fallen to 2,000.
Florida’s State Assistance for Fentanyl Eradication (S.A.F.E.) grant program has supercharged law enforcement capacity to keep our communities safe from deadly illicit drugs. We have strengthened drug interdiction efforts, supported law enforcement operations to dismantle cartel-linked trafficking syndicates, and increased access to life-saving tools like naloxone for first responders.
In addition to the 60% decline in fentanyl overdose deaths, the latest Florida Medical Examiners Commission report found that deaths caused by fentanyl analogs have declined by over 50%. The data also show broader declines in all drug-related deaths over the past year.
We will continue supporting law enforcement and remain committed to protecting the health, safety, and well-being of Floridians.
Results are what counts!
The Florida Medical Examiners Commission recently released their 2025 Annual Drug Report, which shows a nearly 60% decline in fentanyl-caused deaths statewide since our State Assistance for Fentanyl Eradication (S.A.F.E.) grant program launched in 2023.
So far, S.A.F.E. has resulted in almost 3,000 arrests of drug traffickers and dealers, as well as significant seizures of dangerous narcotics. Officers have seized more than 600 pounds of fentanyl and 65,000 fentanyl pills—enough to kill nearly 40% of the U.S. population. These are not small-time drug busts; they are major cartel-linked operations dismantled in Florida.
The Trump Administration’s commitment to securing the border, and our work with federal partners on immigration enforcement, has undoubtedly helped save many lives. State, local, and federal law enforcement continue to work together to combat drug trafficking and protect Floridians. If you are pushing poison in Florida, you will be caught, you will be arrested, and you will be held accountable for your crimes.
Ouch.

That is peanuts for a state as big as Florida.
WSJ: Democrats Make a Million-Dollar Bet on Florida Governor’s Race
The Democratic Governors Association is sending $1 million to boost Jolly’s bid for governor, the group said Tuesday.
The money is a welcome infusion of cash for Jolly, who has been vocal in urging national Democrats to spend more aggressively in his face-off against Republican Rep. Byron Donalds.

It is a national success. Florida has had the steepest drop but fentanyl deaths are down across the country.
This massive decline in fentanyl deaths = thousands of lives saved.

Great to see this mission helping our residents!
Mary and her veteran husband were trying to figure out what comes next after a massive tree came down on their home during Hurricane #Isaias. Her 21-year-old daughter was standing in the kitchen when the tree landed just above her. She was lucky to walk away unharmed, but their home wasn’t so lucky.
Yesterday, we delivered them an EmergencyRV through our partnership with @FLSERT — giving their family a safe place to stay while they focus on getting their home back.
They have a long road ahead, but they don’t have to figure out where they’re going to sleep tonight and that’s a good place to start.
Give at emergencyrv.org to support our work sheltering families.
