Byron Donalds, the Republican nominee for Florida Governor and a current U.S. Representative, will meet with voters in Tampa this weekend as part of Donalds\u2019 \u201cDefending the Florida Dream Tour.\u201d<\/p>\n

Donalds will participate in a Q&A with Tampa Bay area veterans as part of the stop Saturday, at 6207 S. Dale Mabry Blvd. in Tampa. Doors open at 1:15 p.m. for the event that starts at 2.<\/p>\n

Donalds kicked off<\/a> the \u201cDefending the Florida Dream\u201d tour in April. The statewide tour is designed to tackle the issues that matter most to Floridians, according to Donalds\u2019 campaign. Donalds has also used events to offer \u201ca roadmap for protecting the Florida Dream and making it attainable for the next generation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Previous events have addressed other pocketbook issues, such as insurance premiums, property taxes and hidden government fees that continue to \u201csqueeze\u201d household budgets. Donalds has also addressed public safety, education, including school choice and parental rights, and expanding economic opportunities in the state.<\/p>\n

Last weekend, Donalds\u2019 tour stopped in Doral<\/a> and included his newly minted running mate, Bryan \u00c1vila.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Donalds selected \u00c1vila<\/a> as his running mate last week, kicking off a General Election campaign that will see the pair square off against Democrat David Jolly and running mate Gwen Graham in November.<\/p>\n

\u00c1vila has already resigned from the Senate, where he was known for putting muscle behind a series of high-profile bills: the \u201cStop WOKE Act<\/a>\u201d in 2022; the \u201cHalo bill<\/a>,\u201d which established a 25-foot buffer zone around first responders; and a new statute, effective July 1, banning localities from promoting \u201cnet zero<\/a>\u201d emission policies.<\/p>\n

Donalds and Jolly both emerged victorious last month in their respective Primaries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last weekend, Donalds\u2019 tour stopped in Doral and included his newly minted running mate, Bryan \u00c1vila.
