- Don Gaetz, the father of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), declared his candidacy for the Florida Senate on Monday, seeking to return to the position he held from 2006 to 2016.
- As a Republican, Don Gaetz emphasized that his primary objective is to address the issue of affordability for Florida residents, with no aspirations for pursuing higher political offices, according to a report from The Associated Press.
- “It’s evident that despite being a low-tax state, we also contend with high electricity expenses, exorbitant insurance costs, if available, and soaring housing prices,” he stated. “These high costs, these everyday financial concerns, pose challenges for our residents. Florida must prioritize becoming an affordable place to call home.”
