During a speech, Congress member Byron Donalds emphasized his loyalty to President Trump while also stating his commitment to conservative policies established under Governor DeSantis.

In addressing new residents from New York, Donalds warned, 'If you come here, Florida is red. If you come here, we are going to make sure parents are first.

His statements underscored a commitment to maintaining Florida's conservative identity.
While discussing local government regulations, Donalds suggested they need reining in, saying, 'Their sphincters are getting a little tight.' This comment indicated a push against local government’s control over policies that he believes should be more aligned with conservative views.
