“I believe that the next governor of Florida has to have a business background and a finance background of how we put all the resources in our state to be in the most efficient position possible to address those concerns that veterans have,” Donalds said. “To address those concerns that a lot of our law enforcement officials have when they retire from the force and what the people of Florida are also thinking about as well.”
Donalds currently represents most of southwest Florida in Congress.
He previously served in the Florida House of Representatives.
