@jamesfishback Actually cares about Veterans and he understands what they go through dealing with the VA. James Fishback is a businessman who knows how to cut through bureaucracy.
This would be a disaster for Florida, we have to vote for @jamesfishback
If @ByronDonalds is the Republican nominee, a Democrat David Jolly will be Governor.
Jolly has said he is "not a fan of the Second Amendment," and would "re-instate Covid vaccine mandates."
Florida Hero of the Day:
Leon J. Roy, IV, CSM, U.S. Army (Ret.) – Tallahassee, Florida
Command Sergeant Major Leon J. Roy, IV dedicated his life to military service, leadership, and continued support for Florida’s veteran community. After first serving in the U.S. Navy, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and built a distinguished career as an airborne infantryman and Special Forces leader. His combat service in Vietnam included being wounded in action, and he later trained allied forces in Thailand, South Vietnam, and Cambodia. Rising to the rank of Command Sergeant Major, he retired in 1980 with numerous decorations, including the Legion of Merit, Bronze Star, Purple Heart, Air Medal, and Combat Infantry Badge.
Following his military career, Roy continued serving the people of North Florida as a JROTC instructor in the Gadsden County School System and later with the State of Florida’s Emergency Management operations. A respected member of veterans’ organizations such as the Military Order of the Purple Heart, he remained active in honoring and supporting fellow veterans throughout the Tallahassee area. His legacy reflects a lifetime of courage, mentorship, and unwavering commitment to the citizens and veterans of Florida.
Unbelievable
48 hours after we hosted James Fishback (@jamesfishback) at the largest Candidate event at UF in nearly 10 years, @UF terminated our organization.
They cited the FFCR, an organization that we are not a part of that has no authority over our chapter. We are proud members of a different organization, @uscollegegop.
We look forward to the University reinstating our club and correcting this statement. We have retained counsel and have received information that this is not the first time that FFCR has lied to silence christian conservative groups on campus.
Jay Collins is apparently not a fan of the First Amendment. Vote @jamesfishback for Florida Governor!
Florida Hero of the Day:
Brigadier General Michael Lambert Ferguson, a sixth-generation native of Pensacola, Florida, dedicated his life to military service, leadership, and unwavering support for soldiers and veterans across the state.
Commissioned from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1960, he served more than 25 years in the U.S. Army as an infantry and airborne Ranger officer, rising to brigadier general and earning numerous decorations including the Distinguished Service Medal, Legion of Merit, Bronze Star with “V,” and Purple Heart. After retiring in 1986 and becoming a member of the Florida Bar, Ferguson focused his energy on strengthening Florida’s military community, advocating for the relocation of the 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) to Eglin Air Force Base, mentoring students at the Florida Ranger Camp, supporting ROTC programs from Tallahassee to Pensacola, and helping establish Veterans Service Centers on college campuses to ease the transition from military to civilian life.
A tireless civic leader, he also played a key role in organizing Emerald Coast Honor Flights for hundreds of World War II veterans and served as Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the Army for Northern Florida. Widely honored for his lifetime of service, General Ferguson’s enduring legacy is that of a devoted Floridian whose leadership and generosity strengthened both the state’s military presence and the lives of countless veterans and their families.

Florida Hero of the Day:
Commander Joseph G. Sicinski, USAF (Ret.), of Port Orange, Florida, is a Korean War veteran and one of the state’s most dedicated lifelong advocates for fellow veterans.
After enlisting in the U.S. Air Force in 1951, he served as a radar systems specialist and airborne early warning radar director aboard RC-121 aircraft during early Cold War defense missions in the Pacific. Following his military service, Sicinski built a successful aerospace and engineering services career, eventually leading several companies supporting the defense and aviation industries.
In retirement, however, he devoted himself almost entirely to serving Florida’s veteran community. In Port Orange and the greater Daytona Beach area, he revitalized the Korean War Veterans Association Chapter 189, served as Vice President of the KWVA Department of Florida, and helped expand the Veterans Museum and Education Center in Daytona Beach into a major public venue honoring military service. Through his leadership with organizations such as the VFW, DAV, American Legion, and numerous local veterans councils, Sicinski has helped homeless veterans, assisted families in need, supported burial honors, and guided countless veterans through the process of documenting service-connected illnesses and benefits claims. Even into his nineties, he remained a constant presence at veteran events, educational programs, and community initiatives throughout Volusia County, demonstrating an enduring commitment to honoring veterans and ensuring their sacrifices are never forgotten.
Vote @jamesfishback if you want this degenerate practice to end and to see human dignity preserved!

Florida Hero of the Day:
William Henry Chase (1798–1870) was a U.S. Army engineer who later became a Florida militia general during the secession crisis that preceded the American Civil War. A graduate of Phillips Academy and the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1815, he served more than 40 years in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, rising to the rank of major and becoming the senior engineer along the Gulf Coast.
During his career he designed, built, and supervised major coastal fortifications, including Fort Pickens, Fort Barrancas, Fort Morgan, and Fort Taylor, playing a central role in shaping the defensive infrastructure of the Gulf of Mexico region. After retiring from the U.S. Army in 1856 and settling in Pensacola, Florida, Chase became a prominent businessman, railroad executive, and civic leader.
When Florida seceded from the Union in January 1861, he was appointed a colonel and later major general in the Florida militia and famously demanded the surrender of Fort Pickens from the Union garrison he had once helped design; the demand was refused and the fort remained under Union control throughout the Civil War. Chase took no further role in the conflict afterward and returned to his business interests in Pensacola, where he remained a prominent figure until his death in 1870.
