We are still fighting to end lawsuit abuse taxes resulting from billboard, TV & radio trial lawyers who take advantage of FL’s bottom 5 legal climate. Watch our TV ad alerting FL families & urge your Senator to vote "YES" on #SB236👉 https://t.co/v13tZRUtMv.

[Mark Wilson @MarkWilsonFL]

Thank you for your leadership.

[Paul Renner @Paul_Renner]

Floridians shouldn’t be on the hook for the massive hidden costs of lawsuit abuse. I look forward to working with @GovRonDeSantis & @Kathleen4SWFL on legislation to reduce litigation costs and protect Florida families and consumers.

Below is a look at this rate over time.
