We're glad to have you on board, Leader @NickDiCeglie!

Thank you for the kind words and confidence in me. I’m truly honored to serve as Majority Leader of our caucus. I have tremendous respect for my colleagues and look forward to working together on our shared mission to keep Florida strong, prosperous, and free!

I’m grateful to Senate President Designate Jim Boyd for his confidence in asking me to serve as Chair of the Senate Committee on Appropriations for the upcoming legislative term.

President Boyd understands the importance of bringing people together, and I appreciate the nd experience he brings to this next chapter of the Florida Senate. I look forward to serving alongside him and the leadership team he is assembling.

Having previously chaired Appropriations in the Florida House and most recently the Senate Appropriations Committee on Health and Human Services, I know firsthand that developing a responsible state budget is a team effort. It requires listening, finding common ground, and working together to balance the needs of communities across Florida.

Every Senator brings a unique perspective and an understanding of the people and communities they represent. Those voices matter, and I believe our best work happens when we respect those perspectives and work toward a common goal.

I appreciate President Boyd’s trust and look forward to working with my colleagues to develop a fiscally responsible budget that reflects the priorities of Floridians.

We have an important responsibility ahead of us, and I’m proud to be part of the team entrusted with carrying it forward.

Senator @NickDiCeglie will serve as our @FLSenateGOP Leader.

He tackles tough berate manner, often working behind the scenes to uplift and build confidence in others.

Senator @ColleenLBurton will Chair the @FLSenate Committee on Fiscal Policy.

She is fair, thoughtful, thorough, and highly respected by Senators on both sides of the political aisle.

Whether she agrees with you, or not, she is direct, firm and honest, qualities that are both appreciated and needed. Senator Burton will make certain we continue to hold the line and thoroughly vet requests for continued funding as well as new funding.

Senator @jaytrumbull will serve as Chair of our Senate Committee on Appropriations. Having led the budget process as House Appropriations Chair, Senator Trumbull understands this detailed and time-intensive responsibility inside and out.

He will continue our efforts to keep rowth of our state budget, pay down debt, and save for the future, bearing in mind that every dollar we have to appropriate in the budget was taken from a family or a business who earned it.

Senator @DannyBurgessFL will Chair the Senate Committee on Rules.

I have always respected his ability to take on difficult issues and build consensus. He has earned the respect of those on both sides of the political aisle by listening to the concerns Senators bring forward ate their feedback when possible. His dedication, knowledge of the legislative process, and keen attention to detail will serve the Senate well.

I am asking Senators to join me in voting for @SenatorAMR to serve as our @FLSenate President Pro Tempore.

AMR is one of the most positive, approachable, and friendly people I have ever worked with. She has great respect for the dignity of each person she meets and is always nd word of support or encouragement to others. She listens to contrasting points of view and reserves judgment until she has heard all sides of an issue. If she disagrees with someone, she does so gently, respectfully, and with great care and consideration for their perspective.
