Text Freedom to 512345 to join our team!]( Hi Friend, I’ve been spending lots of time out on the campaign trail meeting thousands of inspiring Americans, so I’m reaching out to you today with the hope of us getting to know each other better. By the end of this email, after you’ve heard the story of where I come from, who I am, and why I’m running for President, if you’re ready to join my team, I have something special I’d like to offer you. I’ll start by telling you where I come from: My mom, a nurse, and dad, a box installer for Nielsen, moved across the Rust Belt before settling down in Florida, where I was born and raised. After I graduated high school, I worked to pay my way through Yale University as the Team Captain of our baseball team, and then went on to graduate from Harvard Law School. In those years, I aspired for a great career, but when I witnessed the horrific events of September 11th, 2001, nothing else mattered to me except volunteering to serve in our military to defend freedom—no matter the cost. I deployed to Iraq with the U.S. Navy as a Judge Advocate General's Corps (JAG) Officer in support of SEAL Team 1, and it was the honor of my life to serve alongside fellow patriots, proudly wearing the cloth of my country as a badge of honor on our uniforms. [Ron DeSantis for President. Text Freedom to 512345 to join our team!]( After my time in the service, I felt compelled to continue fighting for what’s right and standing up for causes bigger than myself, and I’ve since been blessed to serve my community as a Congressman and now Governor of Florida. During my term as Governor, our nation was faced with COVID-19, and this pandemic exposed just how much leadership matters. It proved that our nation is in decline because elected leaders have lacked the necessary qualities to stay strong, fight for the people they serve, and chart a different course even if it goes against the grain of public opinion. In Florida, we showed that it can be done—success IS attainable—and I've let my record speak for itself. Two more titles I’m proud to hold are husband to my incredible wife Casey—the best First Lady I believe this state has ever seen—and father to my 6-, 5-, and 3-year-olds. As a father, I’m having to watch the radical Left shove a political agenda down parents' and kids' throats at every turn. They’re having to face lies that men can get pregnant and that we should embrace feelings of hate and guilt instead of pride in our country. At this rate, if we don’t make a change, we are facing the reality where we become the first generation to leave our children with a worse America than we inherited. [Ron DeSantis for President. Text Freedom to 512345 to join our team!]( But, Friend, we do not have to accept this decline. It CAN be reversed, and I believe we have a responsibility to step up and do it. This cannot wait another four years. If you share this belief in a better tomorrow with me, I am humbly asking you to join my team. You should know that every dollar counts in this race, and every contribution to my team goes so much farther than you could know. That’s why, if you join my team by making any donation of just $5 or more, I want to welcome you with a free bumper sticker. [Ron DeSantis for President. Text Freedom to 512345 to join our team!]( [Join My Team: Send in Your First Donation!]( While we put your contribution to good use out on the trail—reaching new voters, hosting big events, producing all kinds of merchandise, advertising across the country, building our network, raising the resources we need to keep going—you could be making an even bigger impact by spreading the word right where you are. I have made it my mission to always lead with conviction, unwavering energy, and with a refusal to back down. With your help, we won’t lose. We will reverse the decline of this country and get the job done. You’ll see very quickly I'm not like anyone else in this race. In the state of Florida, everything I promised we would do, we've gotten done, and then some, when's the last time anybody you've elected has over-delivered on their promises? As your next President, I promise I'll do the same thing. It’s time for the Republican party to buck this culture of losing. You can count on me, Friend. I hope I can count on you. In Freedom [Ron DeSantis for President. Text Freedom to 512345 to join our team!]( Ron DeSantis [Support my campaign]( Meet Ron DeSantis [Ron DeSantis for President]( A native Floridian with blue-collar roots, Ron was raised in Dunedin by his mother, a nurse, and father, who installed cable boxes. He attended Dunedin High School and worked his way through Yale University, where he was the captain of the varsity baseball team. He also graduated with honors from Harvard Law School, where he earned a commission in the U.S. Navy as a JAG officer. During his active-duty service, Ron deployed to Iraq in support of the SEAL mission in Fallujah, Ramadi and the rest of Al Anbar province. His military decorations include the Bronze Star Medal for Meritorious Service and the Iraq Campaign Medal. Ron also served as a prosecutor in Florida, where he put child predators behind bars. He was elected to Congress in 2012 on a platform of government accountability, advocating for term limits and a balanced budget amendment. In Congress, DeSantis spearheaded the fight to expose the weaponization of the IRS against conservatives. He also fought to hold accountable the rogue federal agencies involved in manufacturing the “Russia collusion” conspiracy theory. As a veteran, DeSantis was a champion for those who have served our country, pushing for reforms to the VA to better serve veterans and expand support for mental health. In 2018, Ron DeSantis was elected the 46th Governor of Florida. As governor, he has fought for what’s right and taken the arrows for the people he represents. During the darkest days of 2020, when the corrupt establishment, bureaucracy, and corporate media united to force lockdowns and mandates on Americans, DeSantis stood up for freedom – even when it wasn’t popular. Grounded in his unshakeable belief in America’s founding principles, Governor DeSantis has enacted a bold agenda to transform Florida into a blueprint for the Nation’s revival. Governor DeSantis has delivered win after win on conservative priorities: - Saving livelihoods from job-killing lockdowns and vaccine mandates, - Protecting citizens from the harmful impacts of Biden’s border crisis by enacting E-Verify and other bold policies against illegal immigration, such as banning sanctuary cities, - Defending parental rights and eliminating CRT, - Defunding DEI bureaucracy in higher ed and holding tenured professors accountable, - Waging war on woke power-grabs like ESG and central bank digital currency, - Enacting the strongest medical freedom laws in the nation, - Turning Florida into a model for election integrity, - Protecting the unborn, - Standing up for the 2nd Amendment by making Florida a constitutional carry state, - Expanding education freedom, - Prohibiting land purchases by the CCP and related individuals and entities, - Lowering prescription drug costs, - Holding woke corporations and school unions accountable, - Creating a universal school choice program, - Delivering record-breaking tax relief, - Helping families achieve the American dream of homeownership, - Supporting law enforcement and our veterans, - Enacting tougher penalties for drug dealers and sex offenders, - Appointing seven conservative justices to the Florida Supreme Court, - ...and so much more. After leading Florida with common sense and conviction throughout his first term, DeSantis delivered a record-setting victory of nearly 20 points in 2022. He earned his second term by the largest raw vote margin in state history, winning by more than 1.5 million votes. But history didn’t stop there: Governor DeSantis flipped Miami-Dade County red, winning the majority-Hispanic urban county by double digits. Conventional wisdom assumed this was impossible for a Republican – as recently as 2016, Hillary Clinton won Miami-Dade County by nearly 30 points. Governor DeSantis flipped several other blue counties red, including Palm Beach County. He won 62 out of 67 counties overall. Compared to his first statewide election in 2018, Governor DeSantis was up +19% with Independents, up +30% with Hispanics, and up +9% with women. Governor DeSantis delivered a record-setting victory with battle-tested leadership, a bold policy agenda, and never backing down to corporate media or special interests. As he said at his inauguration: “When the world lost its mind – when common sense suddenly became an uncommon virtue – Florida was a refuge of sanity, a citadel of freedom for our fellow Americans and even for people around the world. In captaining the ship of state, we choose to navigate the boisterous sea of liberty rather than cower in the calm docks of despotism.” Governor DeSantis has ensured that Florida is a free and safe place to raise a family. Thanks to the governor’s leadership, Floridians enjoy a low tax burden, quality education opportunities, and a bulwark in place against the Biden Administration’s overreach and various elite power grabs that seek to force people to adopt a particular ideology. Thanks to the governor’s vision, this year’s legislative session delivered the most ambitious conservative policy victories in Florida’s history. This year, Governor DeSantis signed: - Record tax relief - ESG prohibitions - Measures counteracting the influence of the CCP - The strongest medical freedom protections in the nation. - Reforms reducing the costs of medications by delivering transparency - Bold higher education reforms; defunding DEI - Improvements to our state’s infrastructure - Tough-on-crime, law and order measures, including the death penalty for child rapists - The strongest measures protecting Florida from Biden’s border crisis - Reforms for paycheck protection , holding accountable wayward school unions - Prohibitions on centralized digital currencies in Florida No leader has accomplished more for his state than Governor DeSantis. He is now sharing his bold vision with the country, leading a movement to deliver the Great American Comeback. Ron is married to Casey DeSantis, an Emmy Award- winning television anchor. Together, they’re the proud parents of their daughters, Madison and Mamie, and their son, Mason.
