Let's listen in on Governor Ron
DeSantis speaking right now. Yes man,
full ride to keep our stay free.
Calling out doctor Falchi.
For you and me.
Thank you very much.
Well, thank you so much.
You know, over these past four years,
we've seen major challenges
for the people of our state,
for the citizens of the United States,
and above all, for the cause of freedom.
We saw freedom in our very way of life,
and so many other jurisdictions in
this country wither on the vine.
Florida held the line.
We chose facts over fear.
We chose education over indoctrination.
We chose law and order
over rioting and disorder.
Florida was a refuge of sanity
when the world went mad,
we stood as a citadel of freedom
for people across this country,
and indeed across the world.
We faced attacks.
We took the hits.
We weathered the storms,
but we stood our ground.
We did not back down.
We had the conviction to guide us,
and we had the courage to lead.
We made promises.
We made promises to the people of Florida
and we have delivered on those promises.
And so today, after four years,
the people have delivered their verdict.
Freedom is here to stay.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
Now, thanks to the overwhelming
support of the people of Florida,
we not only want election,
we have rewritten the political map.
Thank you for honoring us
with a win for the ages.
I want to thank all of our campaign staff
from campaign manager genera Peck down.
This was the best run campaign in
the history of Florida politics.
I want to thank all of our
wonderful volunteers who worked
so hard to get out the vote.
Your support means the world to Casey and I.
God bless you and thank you.
Now it's a lot easier to run a good campaign
when you got a great record to run on.
And I would not have been able to see
the level of accomplishments that we
saw unless I had outstanding personnel
working in the Executive Office of the
governor as well as heading state agencies.
These folks worked hard to
implement our agenda.
They believed in our agenda and
the results have been historic.
Thank you for your support and work.
Thank you to Miami-Dade County.
Thank you to Palm Beach County.
Now, we're still telling the votes,
but it's clearly apparent that
this election we will have garnered
a significant number of votes
from people who may not have
voted for me four years ago.
And I just want to let you know
I am honored to have earned
your trust and your support
over these four years.
And most important of all,
thank you to the greatest
first lady in all 50 states.
For being a great wife,
giving unwavering support,
being a tremendous mother to
our three young children,
and serving as an example
for women throughout this state,
especially going through the battle
of cancer, she is remarkable.
Now today.
Now, today is
the culmination of the
two 2022 fall elections.
But in reality, Americans have
been voting for many years now,
they've been voting with their feet,
and the results of that behavior has been
just as stark as our landslide victory today,
States and cities governed
by leftist politicians.
Have seen crime skyrocket.
They've seen their taxpayers abused,
they've seen medical
authoritarianism imposed,
and they've seen American
principles discarded.
The woke agenda has caused millions
of Americans to leave these
jurisdictions for greener pastures.
Now this great exodus of
Americans for those folks,
Florida for so many of them,
has served as the promised land.
We. We have embraced freedom,
we have maintained law and order,
we have protected the rights of parents,
we have respected our taxpayers
and we reject woke ideology.
We fight the woke in the legislature.
We fight the woke in the schools.
We fight the woke and the corporations.
We will never, ever surrender
to the woke mob. Florida
is where Wolf goes to die.
People have come here
because our policies work.
Leadership matters.
We refuse to use polls and
put our finger in the wind.
Leaders don't follow. They lead.
We set out a vision, we executed on
that vision and we produced historic
results and the people of this state
have responded in record fashion.
Now, while our country flounders due
to failed leadership in Washington,
Florida is on the right track.
I believe the survival of the
American experiment requires a
revival of true American principles.
Florida has proved that it can be done,
we offer. We offer a ray of hope
that better days still lie ahead.
I am proud of our achievements in this state.
I am honored by your support and
I look forward to the road ahead.
I have fought the good fight. I
have finished the race in this first
curve, and I have kept the faith.
We've accomplished more than anybody
thought possible four years ago,
but we've got so much more to do
and I have only begun to fight.
God bless you all. Thank you very much.
Thank you for a historic landslide victory.
