In this episode of John Solomon Reports , host John Solomon welcomes Congressman Byron Donalds, a frontrunner in the Florida gubernatorial race. Donalds shares insights on his campaign, emphasizing the need for affordability and maintaining Florida's status as a free state. He addresses voter frustrations regarding stalled legislation, particularly the Save America Act, and discusses the importance of school choice and vocational training for young Floridians. Donalds also highlights his commitment to environmental preservation, particularly the restoration of the Everglades, and the need for common-sense solutions to property tax reform.
