Byron Donalds has represented Florida's 19th congressional district in the U.S. House since 2021, and served in the Florida House before that. A proven conservative leader on economic policy, regulatory reform, and educational freedom, he is running for Governor in 2026.
Donalds won the Republican nomination in the August 18 primary and now faces Democrat David Jolly in the November 3 general election. His campaign focuses on keeping Florida taxes low, protecting parental rights in education, strengthening law enforcement, and defending the state's economy against federal overreach.
About this office: The Governor is Florida's chief executive: signing or vetoing every bill the Legislature passes, setting the state budget proposal, appointing judges and agency heads, and directing the state's emergency response.
