Gov. Ron DeSantis released his proposed newly redrawn map of the state’s congressional districts on Monday, one that aims to add four Republican leaning seat to the 20 (out of 28) already represented by Republicans in Florida.

The House Majority PAC announced an injection of $20 million into Florida’s congressional races this fall, targeting a handful of GOP-controlled seats ahead of the midterm elections. The news was first reported by the Miami Herald.

As Floridians prepare for Earth Day on Wednesday, environmental advocates are attempting to raise awareness about a Trump administration plan to bypass compliance with the Endangered Species Act for all oil and gas activities in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Florida Republican AG goes before the voters for the first time this November.

‘There’s obviously a strategy involved’ in timing his release of the details to place before voters, he says.

A month after Florida Democrats scored upset victories in two special legislative elections, a new survey shows their top candidates for statewide offices are either in a statistical tie or leading against GOP opponents.

“They are willing to do an illegal unconstitutional act by doing mid-decade redistricting,” added Rep. Ashley Gantt, D-Miami. “That is literally nullifying a section of the Constitution that is unambiguous.”

Florida Republicans have promised for nearly a year to provide meaningful property tax relief to Floridians in the form of a constitutional amendment they could vote on this November. Despite that hype, no such proposal has received the three-fifths support in both chambers in the Legislature that is required to get a legislatively backed constitutional amendment on the ballot.

The governor’s comment that ‘I think Justice Alito is writing the opinion,’ raised an objection from a redistricting critic.

A coalition of environmental groups filed a lawsuit Thursday against the Trump administration over its decision this week to remove Endangered Species Act protections from species threatened by oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.

While Congress remains deadlocked on the SAVE America Act that would require U.S. citizenship to register to vote, that requirement will soon become the law of the land in Florida now that Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed the latest “voting integrity ” legislation.

Supporters say it’s an innovative way to deal with the state’s housing needs. Critics said its passage would lead to disaster for decades to come.
